A while ago, DOAG.tv interviewed me about Oracle’s Standard Edition and database system migrations. The material was published just recently, so I’d like to share it. Enjoy, and if there are questions, just let me know!
I have to add a corrigenda: SE RAC is not – at least not at the moment – limited to a number of nodes. It’s currently limited to CPU sockets, to be exact, 4 of them. So a four-node SE RAC is possible, if I did not completely misunderstand the licencing policies.
Disclaimer: Licensing and pricing here are my OPINIONS, and not a reliable source to make decisions or confront Oracle with. 🙂 If you need some tailored licensing information, feel free to email info-at-performing-db.com for advice.
