I am checking out licenses. We all know that EE is much more expensive than SE. But many customers do have EE installed - unsure if they need all the features at all. After several years of production, a downgrade is considered 'risky' and we continue to pay the full EE.
How can we check and be sure that a downgrade to SE would not be any problem?
Some checks include:
* partitioning used in user schemas? --> no downgrade to EE
* bitmap indexes in user schemas? --> no downgrade to EE
How can we complete this list, or is there some script to make this easy?
The only supported technique for converting an EE database to SE is export-inport, as documented in note 139642.1. Our client is reluctant to do this because of the downtime involved. It is however possible to open the EE database from an SE home, no problem.
The note says only Quote:When you just install the Standard Edition software, you will end up with Data Dictionary objects which are of no use (or perhaps even invalid) and possibly create problems when maintaining the database.
Recently we have downgraded our database from enterprise to standard edition.....our sga size before downgrade was 11 gb and now it is 11gb and there is no as such problem in database..I have read somewhere that standard edition doesn't support sga size more than 2 gb .
In our current setup we have RAC on standard edition and client is now planning to go for Enterprise Edition but not yet decide because of cost. Is there any difference between Grid Infrastructure 11gR3 Enterprise edition and Standard Edition ?
They told me to first install Enterprise Edition and then will move to Standard Edition if they can't get the EE license so in that case do i have to re-install Grid infrastructure for standard edition?
I have started to migrate 11.2.0.3 database from Enterprise to Standard edition with expdp/impdp (RHEL box). I've managed to transfer database without any problem (ok i had little difficulties with bitmap indexes but never mind).
But now i do not have all public synonyms in place as i already knew. So i have to create sql script and i have found several good ones. My question is do i need to recreate all public synonyms or there is a exceptions in my case because i now have Standard Edition database (old one was Enterprise)?
My problem is i install Oracle 9i enterprise edition 9.0.1.1.1 in windows xp professional but at the time of oracle database confiuration assistent it show me following errors it show:
I have requirement where replication should be done between two 11gR2 RAC on Standard edition.I have following queries,1. Does Standard edition support DDL capture?
Im asking this because on

it says "SE1/SE: no capture from redo" what that really mean ??2. Can it be possible to configure capture at schema level and skip only some of the tables / triggers ?
We are upgrading from oracle 9.2.0.8 to 11g r2, and both are Standard Edition database. The database is part of a product that runs on a customer site, and won't get bigger than 50 GB. It runs in archive mode, and our backup script does a hot backup every night, plus copying the archive logs, redos, controlfiles, etc. We save 2 entire backups - from the last night plus the night before last. Then there's a tape backup that saves the backed-up files to an off-server location.
This architecture has allowed us to recover our customer's data from many odd occurrences at customer sites (power loss during a hot backup, corrupt controlfiles/datafiles/archivelogs). My question is, given that we are running the Standard Edition database, which doesn't have most of the useful RMAN features, is it worth it to switch to RMAN?
I took an Oracle Backup and Recovery class and posed this question to the instructor, and the response was, it would be better to use RMAN over a manual user backup script. Our backup script is pretty battle-hardened - is that the best reason?
In my production ENV there is two node RAC database is running , and on both machine RAM size is (35GB on node1,41GB on Node2) and other configuration is like below.
I read that Oracle RAC which is bundled in Standard Edition can support at max 4 sockets. One of my client has a proposal of using RAC but for 3 nodes each using single 1 quad core Intel processor. As far as i understood, an Intel quad core is a multi chip module and actually is a combination of 2 modules dual core, so each Intel quad core may be counted as 2 sockets. Which yield to the proposal of my client will be failed, as the total number of sockets in it will be: 2*3=6 that exceed the max 4 support.
when migrating from 32 bit Linux to 64 bit Windows version on database standard edition, is there a server media needed?if yes, can you give me more details on what it consists of?
my customer wants to create a standby database for his production database (Oracle Standard Edition 11g R2 @ Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit). Now any proof-of-concept which explains shortly the concept and how to achieve it.
10g Oracle Standard Edition RAC feature and how it is charged. I mean: is it free option for Standard Edition or payable?
I read something about Baby Rac on wiki and there was information that only with Engerprise Edition RAC is an extra-charge option for Standard Edition RAC is included.

Quote:Oracle Corporation includes RAC with the Standard Edition of Oracle Database (aka Baby RAC), but makes it an extra-charge option for the Enterprise Edition
We do have corporate licencing model in our firm, so we can evaluate what version of Oracle we need to install (One, Standard or Enterprise) bu there is no matter what version we chosed, because our licensing model give us possibility to install the highest version. So usually we were choosing the Enterprise Editions.
But only limitation for us is an options. We can't have additional option like partitioning, RAC, Oracle Tuning Pack, etc... in order to have additional option we need approval from our financial management.
I have idea to change one of our installation from Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition in order to have RAC option for free. Like i said. If we want to have RAC in our Enterprise Edition we need additional approval of money expense - but this is not easy. But our licensing model give us possibility to install Standard Edition of Oracle instead or Enterprise Edition and have RAC option include without additional expenses.
How many records could I have in a single table without performance degradation with Standard Edition without partitioning with cutting-edge server (8 or 12 cores, 72 GB RAM, FC 4 Gbit, etc...) and good storage?
300 Millions in only one table with 500K transactions / day is too much?
Ours is Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 Db 4 instances RAC on Unix AIX OS.Since long we are facing problem that CPU utilization reached 100% and reboot is required alteast once or twice a month.On seeing the Events Logs we find that the Event "CURSOR PIN S WAIT FOR X" is consuming a lot of waits.
On analyzing i came to know that we are firing same query from Application 15 to 20 lack times for which a lot of Mutex keeps spining for getting Shared Mode and consumes a large amount of CPU.
Am moving data from 10g enterprise edition to 11g standard edition using normal import commandafter completing i just go through the Log.i found a thing which makes me confusing
in some tables alone a row is not inserted stating the ORA-12899 while checking with the database it shows the column is varchar(100)in the log the error showing it tries to insert 101 character. how it happening to a single row
I am querying v$sga and getting variable size : 211337216 bytes.when querying v$sgastat then getting
java Pool : 16777216 Large Pool : 41943040 Shared pool : 398560392
But as per my knowledge following condition should satisfy,but not getting
[code]
Variable sga = java pool + large pool + shared pool select pool,name,sum(bytes) from v$sgastat where pool in ('shared pool','java pool','large pool') group by pool,name;
Here variable size using v$sga : 211337216 bytes
and java pool + large pool + shared pool : 211302536 bytes.
I like to switch from a rac to a standalone database including downgrading the license to standard edition one. Actually SE1 is not an install option for 10g.
Would it be enough to reconfigure the 2nd rac node ?
What I was trying to do is duplicate my 10.2.0.4 DB and overwrite my 11.2.0.2 DB. Is there a way to downgrade my 11.2.0.2 DB. my 11Gr2 DB I have already set the compatibility parameter to *compatible='11.2.0.2' My 11gr2 is a test DB I don't have a valid backup..
I want to downgrade my database from Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) to Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0).
I've done trial of taking export of higher version(Oracle11g) through lower version(Oracle9i) exp utility and trying to import same exp.dmp files into lower version(Oracle9i), but not succeeded and getting some parameter related error.

am trying to downgrade my oracle database 10g release 10.2.0.2.0 to 10.2.0.1.0the reason for this is that i had to copy /oracle_home/bin utilities from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2 because of this most utilities like rman,dbca were not working.
i think i need to downgrade my oracle database 10g release to 10.2.0.1.0 right?i read some oracle documentations of database downgrade instruciting me to
>take full backup of oracle DB >ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole SQL> STARTUP DOWNGRADE DROP USER sysman CASCADE; >SQL> SPOOL downgrade.log
