Oracle editions

Oracle editions and options support
Oracle editions
  • Oracle XE
  • Workgroup Server
  • Standard Edition One (SE1)
  • Standard Edition (SE)
  • Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE)
Oracle options
  • RAC
  • ASM (version 10.2 or higher)
  • OMF
  • Flash recovery area
  • Multitenant databases

 

 

  • Exact supported version numbers are determined by the Oracle client support; for the 11.1 prepackaged Instant Client, this is described in MOS note 207303.1. In short, it requires 9.2.0.4 or higher. (Solaris version for Intel/AMD uses 11.2 Instant Client, as no 11.1 version was published by Oracle Corporation.)

  • Dbvisit Replicate supports heterogeneous configurations, i.e. the processes can run on different platforms, enabling you e.g. to do a Linux-to-Windows replication, monitor Linux-to-Linux replication using Windows client etc. This is always enabled and does not require any special configuration.

  • Dbvisit Replicate supports all flavors of Linux x86 and x86_64 which are supported by Oracle. On unsupported Linux platforms extra efforts are required in terms on installing required libraries and packages. The thumb rule is "If you can run Oracle, You can run Dbvisit Replicate"
  • For Oracle 9i, only when FETCHER process is used, source server and MINE server must have the same endianness.
