Do you mean Enterprise Edition? Standard Edition was a low cost option for up to 4 CPU's.

But, looking at the Oracle store, I don't see the plain Standard Edition anymore. Anyone know if they got rid of it? It's still listed in the user minimums, but I don't see it otherwise.

A V240 isn't that much if you want to stay with Solaris, or a Xeon-based Linux server is viable. Received on Tue May 11 2004 - 13:33:11 CDT
