RE: 11g Licensing for RAT

Comments in-line:

From: Kerber, Andrew W. [mailto:Andrew.Kerber_at_umb.com]

Um, its not real hard to catch the sql and replay it in Oracle. You can do it using logminer or the auditing tables  

[Brandon] Well, I guess that depends on your definition of
"real hard". I wouldn't exactly call that "real easy" either  

  What does real application testing do in addition to that, and how does it compare to the 'SQL trace replay' that is spoken of here?  

[Brandon] Good point - there may be a lot of extra
functionality included with RAT so maybe it's not really apples-to-apples. I've haven't used RAT yet so I can't say, but my point is just that the concept isn't new and although I love Oracle and being an Oracle DBA, I really hate their licensing policies and wish they'd just include all the diagnostics, tuning and management functionality in the base product like SQL does.
