RE: XE/SE/SE1/EE Options (again)

Thanks Brian, Hans, Mogens, and Niall for your answers. Given that I'm hoping we'd be forward thinking enough to plan for future DM/DW, I'd hope we'd spring for EE. I don't like the 4-CPU boundary and I'm thinking I won't like SE's lack of Data Guard and Online DDL, although 3rd-party products like Quest's SharePlex and LiveReorg, respectively, are available.

I'm just spoiled by the old Concurrent Licenses and Silver Support...

Thanks!!!

Rich

Having never run SE this may be a non-issue but... Does SE limit you on how many processors are 'presented' to the database vs you doing the calculation? Will SE even start up if the O/S is presenting '8' dual-core cpu's, probably changing cpu_count would fix it but does SE have these types of limitations? ORA- Error msg to the alert log? No idea. I'm not sure how the dual-cores present themselves - no access to that either :-(

Just some additional thoughts about SE above and beyond the legal definitions.
