Oracle 10g Licensing Query

Hi,
I have a query with regards to Oracle 10g licensing for additional options (OLAP, Data Mining, Partitioning, Spatial & Database Vault) on top of enterprise edition.
Even though i am not using any of the options, i have them installed along with enterprise edition. Do i still need to pay for these additional options?
From 10g, you can always prove to oracle that any of the features/options are not in use via DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS.
We are using shared infrastructure for hosting many application databases. Today we have a application that uses only partitioning, but tommorrow we might have to create a database within the same oracle home that uses OLAP & data mining as well.
would be interested in knowing what is oracle stand on this i.e. we pay for additional options only if we are using them or we pay just because they are installed regardless of we are using them or not??
Thanks & Regards
Chandar

Chandark,
You need to pay licenses if you are using it commercially and if it is installed and you haven't paid for it then how would you stop anyone not using it because its not paid but its there. This will be against your contractual agreement and they may fine you or you have to pay for the options. So I recommend not to install options you haven't paid for to avoid any issues. But if you are using for learning purpose and not commercial then you are good. You can further contact local Oracle Support or local Sales rep for more information
Hope this helps, regards

Where can I download the Oracle 10g R2 clients for Windows 7?

Where can I download the Oracle 10g R2 clients for Windows 7?

Welcome to the forums !
Pl identify exact versions of "10gR2" and Windows 7. The only certified combination is 10.2.0.5 on Win 7 Professional or higher. Home version of Windows is not supported. Using uncertifed combinations will result in the software not working as advertised.
See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b14264/toc.htm#CIHCFAGA (see Step 4 - the 10.2.0.5 patch can only be downloaded by paying support customers at https://support.oracle.com)

Downloaded oracle 10g license for 30days

i have downloaded a oracle 10g from oracle website, but i found that it can only be used for 30days, i am just a student, i just want to learn it. does anyone know what will happened after 30 days? how long can i use? what is the technical difference of downloaded version and retailed version? any limitation?
thank you!

Regariding the internal constitution of the software there is not any difference and what you said is true. The agreement of Oracle is that you can test the software during 30 days and after if you want to follow using you have to buy it.

Oracle 10g free limit for web

1. Kindly let me know about the maximum limit of Oracle 10g for free use on web
2. How can I see that how much I used on the web
Thanks & best regards

Question-1:
How'll I know that how much space I used out of 4gb?It depends. If you set your data files to autoextend, you could monitor them at the OS level. You could query the DBA_SEGMENTS data dictionary view. I believe the web interface to the XE database also provides a graph for this.
Question-2:
after 4gb how much it'll cost for unlimited space?That depends. Among other things, it depends on the edition you'll be upgrading to, the number of CPUs on the server, the country you're in, the organization you're working for and, most likely, your skills at negotiating discounts with your Oracle sales rep. http://store.oracle.com gives you the list prices of the various editions.

Supported Windows Versions
One of the following 32-bit Windows operating systems:
* Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later
* Windows Server 2003
* Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 or later
Oracle Database 10g XE is not certified for windows vista 64-bit.
Although you can see only a few Windows versions supported, you can still try and run DB XE on other versions as well as far as you don't look up to Oracle to resolve your issues. But Oracle Database 10g XE can not be installed on 64-bit windows, thats for sure.
So, if you are done with choosing your platform, you are left with only one option i.e HYPERVISORS.
So you'll have to first use any HYPERVISOR and create a Virtual Machine and then install a Guest 32-bit windows ( or Linux if you prefer) and then run Oracle DB on it.
One of the most famous vendors in business for the purpose is VMWare. But there are other options available as well including open source/free.
For downloading the software you can get to the following link and download Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)

Oracle 10G DBA OCP - for whom has Oracle 7 OCP

I am Oracle 7 certified and plan to have Oracle 10G certified by taking 1Z0-042 (dba 1) and 1Z0-043 (dba2 and workshop).
1. I remember I have taken SQL and PL/SQL when I was certified Oracle 7. Do I still need to one of the

or
1Z0-007 Introduction to Oracle9i SQL®
or
1Z0-047 Oracle Database SQL Expert
or
1Z0-051 Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals
2. can i find out from Oracle that my SQL/PLsql passed in oracle 7 OCP was 1Z0-001?
3. Can I take 1Z0-043 first since I took the class and plan to study 1Z0-042 on my own?
4. How many questions and the duration for the exam 1Z0-043 exactly? Oracle site indicated 92 questions form 90 minutes (it was 120 minutes last year), which is pretty short time for a person whose major language is not english.

Oracle 10g Express Edition for OCP 10g Upgrade Certification

Hi
Can I use Oracle 10g Express edition to prepare for Oracle 10g Release 2 new features exam.
Thanks,
James

For exam/certification disscussions, I suggest the [Certification forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=459].
By preparation I assume you refer to the topics of the [1Z0-040 exam|http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_040#3].
For "strictly self-educational purposes", take a look at the OTN downloads license and consider using EE (or PE perhaps) install, supposed you need full features for the managebility stuff, tuning advisors, partitioning, RMAN functionality, etc.

My Organisation have Oracle 10g R2 SE with One CPU License, Can it be installed on One CPU Quad Core Server without violating the license ?
Please Help !

Licenses are per physical CPU not logical as far as I know and my organization is using that method only. Still better to consult oracle Sales guy on this. Can you post the OS platform because it has some different calculation for each OS based on core factor? For Standard Edition it is still per Physical CPU but for Enterprise Edition Core factor comes into play. Please check http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Oracle_Licensing in Processor Licensing section. For core factor you can check http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/contracts/processor-core-factor-table-070634.pdf document. So if you are running EE with Quad Core CPU on Windows Machine then it comes under All Other Multicore chips of the document and number of CPU license would be 1(physical CPU)+4*1(No of core - Quad * core factor=5.

Small Business Server 2003 Compatibility with Oracle 10G, licensing?

Hello all,
Is Windows SBS 2003 compatible with Oracle 10G, I looked at the compatibility and didn't notice it but I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience with the two.

The licensing isn't by cpu slots, it's by the number
of cores times a multipier, which I believe for intel
is .5, so if you have a cpu w/ 2 cores, you would
purchase a 1 cpu license. If you have a quad core
cpu, you would need to purchase a 2 cpu license. I
would definitely talk to your sales rep about this to
make sure the multipier is right (and if it has
changed w/ intel quad technology).Thanks Jim. The multiplier used above for Intel is indeed correct. However, Oracle has (in the last few weeks) introduced the term 'socket' into it's licensing metrics as follows:
"When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to an occupied socket. See http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list.pdf "
To quote another source (CRN):
"..Standard Edition was licensed for servers with up to four single-core processor cores. For multicore chips, users could only license it for up to eight cores total. Oracle's formula was to multiply the number of cores by 0.50 to get the CPU license number to determine price. So a four-core box counted as two CPUs.
Now Standard Edition can be licensed on servers with up to four sockets, or four processors running one-, two- or four-core chips (and possibly a higher number of cores)." This source overlooks to mention that the multiplier relates to Intel!
