Above in this comment thread: Oracle10G New Features Part II

licensing

Posted by nlitchfield at 2005-04-13 01:24 PM

In common with much of the material on ADDM, AWR etc that is being published, this article doesn't mention licensing. Whilst the features are excellent - and a very definite competitive advantage over the likes of MSSQL - the fact remains that in order to use ADDM,AWR etc you have to license the OEM feature packs (diagnosis - performance etc) on the same basis as the database license for the monitored systems. This applies even if you are manually querying the relevant performance views.

On a somewhat related note it would be nice to mention which of the database features appear in which editions of the database - maybe a future article.

Good idea!

Actually, that is a great idea for an article. I have spent lots of time in the past determining what feature was in Oracle Standard Edition and what feature required you to upgrade to Oracle Enterprise Edition. Now that Oracle has Standard Edition One, it is even more confusing. Look for a future blog on this subject. I'll cover the three databases and the management packs.

Thanks for the help!
