Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Enterprise edition and Standard edition
Thanks. I did not know about the documented bug. I did a test and was able
to create a bitmap index, so it is in fact Enterprise edition.
The history is that I was hired for this project and several of the
databases already existed. It wasn't until later that I discovered that we
were only licensed for Standard edition. When we contacted our account
representative, he said that doing a custom install and getting Enterprise
edition was fine as long as we weren't using any Enterprise features (which
we are not).
