To: Ghassan Salem; oracle-l_at_freelists.org Subject: RE: Database Control vs. Grid Control  

Thank you Ghassan. Just a couple more questions in response:  

1. You recommend not to run GC on the same server with the target DB - can you please elaborate on why? Is it just do to contention for resources, or is there some other reason? I'm not sure if I can justify purchasing another server for GC if I already have enough available resources on the DB server to run both with good performance.
2. Regarding licensing for Enterprise Edition, I understand that the EE database that serves as the GC does not require a separate license, but I'm not clear on whether the targets can all be Standard Edition, or if the Grid Control license is only provided as long as your target(s) are Enterprise Edition - do you know? I'm still waiting for a response from Oracle Support on this.

Regards,

Brandon

I would not advise you install it on your db servers. use another machine.

You do not pay the licence for the repository db, and it is an EE (it has partitioning, ...)
