Re: Oracle Database in Embedded Environments

• "Embedded" does not exclude sqlplus;
• Your client does not have any "direct" (e.g. through sqlplus) access to the database, other than through your application;
• You ("Seller" company) bear full responsibility for database "well-being", your client's DBAs (servicing Client's "other" databases) do not touch your embedded database; that means you try to "automate" maintenance/monitoring procedures (backups, etc...) as much as possible; also means that "remote access" from "Seller" company to "embedded" database becomes absolute necessity.
