Connection/Network encryption in Oracle Standard Edition 11gR2

Does the Oracle 11gR2 Standard Edition support any network encryption for SQL*Plus or JDBC thin clients? I don't have "Oracle Advanced Security" installed, is this required to support any encryption of data send across a network?

The cryptographic libraries for SSL included in Oracle Database 10g are designed to meet FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification. Oracle Advanced Security makes use of these cryptographic libraries for SSL authentication. Please verify the current status of the certification at the Cryptographic Modules Validation Program Web site address:
That is the first statement which leads me to believe the manual hasn't been updated for 11G. Please confirm.
I am not an Oracle employee and so can neither confirm nor deny any statement they make. I'd suggest this is something you probably should be discussing directly with someone in authority at Oracle. Perhaps start with a sev4 (information request) SR.

  • GoldenGate on Oracle Standard Edition

    Hi,
    GoldenGate supports extract from an Oracle Standard Edition One database, but I have not yet managed to create an extract queue.
    I have read the manuals, I have searched Oracle forum and I have also searched Oracle Support pages, but I haven't found anything how it should be done.
    Please guide me.
    I have tried to create the extract with several different commands. Here are some of them:
    add extract ggsrc, tranlog, begin now, threads 1
    add extract ggsrc, tranlog, begin now, passive
    Here is the error message I receive:
    2011-11-10 12:14:00 WARNING OGG-01756 Cannot register EXTRACT GGSRC with database because of the following SQL error: OCI Error ORA-00439: feature not enabled

    denGate for Oracle Installation and Setup Guide. You can manually register this
    group with the REGISTER EXTRACT command.
    EXTRACT added.
    As you can see the command is trying to use an option which is not enabled in the Standard Edition One. It is using some Streams functionality which is standard in Enterprise Edition.

  • Ghost connections "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition"

    We have a server application with multiple threads each using JDBC connections. On the Database server (MS SQL Server 7) we notice more and more connections with the SQLQueryAnalyzer-ProgramName "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition". But all our (known) connections have custom names or the default name of the JDBC driver (jTDS). The developer of jTDS answered that the driver only have connections that are requested by the application. But we don't have connections named dbc connections "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition" ... ?

    We don't use an application server, it's just a plain Java application. No frameworks and only 3rd party libs that don't handle any database connection - and the JDBC driver jTDS. As one of the developers got very angry about my bug report, because he insists that it's not the fault of jTDS, I have to rule out jTDS. That would mean that it's somewhere in my application. But I just have 1 single class that actually creates a JDBC connection, so it's not hard to debug this. And I can't see any additional connections as all of my connections get specific names and not "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition".
    I searched all source code of the Java SDK, jTDS and my source code for occurences of "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition" and can't find any. I hoped that somebody knows who is using this string (and when). It sounds like general Java (SDK/JRE) is setting this name, but I haven't found it.

  • Standby Database with Oracle Standard Edition

    Hi,
    my customer wants to create a standby database for his production database (Oracle Standard Edition 11g R2 @ Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit). Now has somebody a proof-of-concept which explains shortly the concept and how to achieve it.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi
    We have the following options :
    1. Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) - Will have automatically 'Oracle DataGuard' option. No extra license for Oracle DataGuard. We have to purchase Oracle EE for both the sites.
    2. Oracle Standard Edition (SE) - Will not have 'Oracle DataGuard' option. So we can't implement Standby database.
    3. Oracle Standard Edition (SE) - Will not have 'Oracle DataGuard' option. If you want to implement disaster recovery site we have to purchase Oracle GoldenGate for both the sites. But we have to Oracle GoldenGate license for both the sites
    Thanks

  • Oracle Standard Edition databases are based on a maximum number of sockets

    Can someone explain this further?
    I need install Database in RAC.
    I have:
    1. Named User Plus Licenses.
    2. Oracle standard Edition Database.
    3. Two servers with 2 processors Dual Core 64-bit Intel® Xeon® Processor 7140M.
    4. Each server has 4 sockets, 2 are occupied and 2 are unoccupied.
    My question is:
    I need upgrade Oracle Enterprise edition database because I will have 8 socket, although only will use 4 sockets.
    I need more information on these sockets, specially in Database SE, User Named plus and multi-chip
    processors.
    I have contacted Oracle Sales and they/the sales person also do not have
    these information.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Carl

    Try reading through http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/databaselicensing.pdf, and then http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/sig.pdf (page 11) - also pass those URLs to your Oracle sales guy and ask for clarification.
    Note that any answers you get here will be quite useless in a court of law, if you and Oracle decide to have different opinions. So it is important you get an answer from Oracle - in writing.

  • Database link between Oracle Standard Edition and Oracle Enterprise Edition

    Hi,
    I am looking at setting up a data transfer process between an Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition database and an Oracle 11g Standard Edition database. Database links would be required each way.
    I heard once that this is not permitted as connecting Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link means that the Standard Edition database would now need an Enterprise license.
    I have searched around but can't find anything to confirm this. Am I being mislead by this information? Is it permitted to
    connect Standard to Enterprise via a DB Link?

When a db-1 has a link pointing to db-2, as far as db-2 is concerned db-1 is just another client .. no different than sqlplus. If you have an Enterprise Edition database, of course it will need to be properly licensed. But that doesn't mean all of its clients (including a SE database) have to be EE licensed.
    But even my reply is just something you read on the internet. Licensing questions can only be definitively answered by Oracle itself. Ultimately you will need to put your hands on an official Oracle document or a written statement from someone authorized to make such statements.

  • Licence for Development Oracle standard edition

    Hi,
    I am having named user licence for the standard edition Oracle database.
    Can I create multiple instances for the same machine and redstribute my licences internally?
    Can we run multiple versions of oracle on same machine under one license ?

    WARNING: None of this internet advice has any legal standing and you would be absolutely recommended to confirm with your local Oracle sales representative.
    Can I create multiple instances for the same machine and redstribute my licences internally?Yes, as long as you have enough named user licenses to cover all of the users who will be connecting to all those instances
    Can we run multiple versions of oracle on same machine under one license ?Yes, as long as you have enough named user licenses to cover all of the users who will be connecting to all those instances of different versions
    If you have a large number of users (say > 50) it may be cheaper to purchase a processor license for the server. You will need to check this with your local Oracle sales representative as processor licensing has its own licensing metrics e.g. O/S platform and CPU.
    Note that what my sales rep says is ok may not be what your sales rep says is ok, so get confirmation in writing for reference.

  • Connect Toad freeware with Oracle express Edition, How?

    Hello,
    Although I know that people will raise the question this is Oracle and use SQL developer... Ok I do that and that is working fine. But on my work they work with TOAD so I like to work with TOAD as well and I want get some knowledge about Toad, TNSNAMES etc.
    I've put the issue on TOAD forum as well, but till now I don't have received an answer.
    I want to teach/learn myself Oracle by working with the Oracle express edition. I have downloaded the SQL Developer and I can work with it, which means I can create a connection.
    Errors when I try to work with TOAD are:
    If i try to make a connection:
    - "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"
    If I click on TNSNames editor:
    - Access violation in address xxxxxxx at module TOAD.exe"
    I have installed oracle at D:\ORACLE_HOME. In this directory is also a TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
    I'm working on my local machine with:
    - windows 7 Home
    - Oracle 32 bit client:
    - Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
    - PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
    - "CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
    - TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
    - NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
    - TOAD 64-bit freeware.
    *Questions:*
    *- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?*
    *- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?*
    *- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?*

  • Oracle standard edition vs. enterprise edition

    Hi all
    Due to cost constraints, we have had to downgrade our 8i Database Enterprise Edition installation to Standard Edition.
    My question is: do we have to re-create our database under Standard Edition, to make it a 'Standard Edition' database, or can we just re-open our existing database (created under Enterprise Edition) with the Standard Edition?
    I installed 8i SE and opened our database but, of course, SELECT BANNER FROM V$VERSION suggests we're still running the EE.
    Are we breaking the terms of our licence by using this existing database?
    Very many thanks
    Andrew

    Hi!
    My impression is during the database creation time, Oracle incorporates in data dictionary the options available for each product edition in that time.
    Try to execute a specific operation that needs an E.E. license just like parallel query, advanced replication, and Partitioning.
    Execute this query:
    select * from v$option;
    And compare to the Database Feature and Option Availability ( notes available on metalink ):

    Note:112591.1
    Differences between Oracle 8.1.x Personal, Standard and Enterprise on NT/2000
    Note:70059.1
    As long as this is only my impression, try opening a SR to make it sure.

  • Oracle Standard Edition vs Enterprise

    Does anyone know if the is a performance difference between the standard edition vs the enterprise

    Hello,
    As it was said on the previous post, EE allows you (if you take the option) to use partitioning which can be
    an interesting way of tuning for very large Tables.
    More over, in EE you have also the possibility to have as much CPU as you want. In SE you are limited to 4 CPU
    and in SE1 you are limited to 2 CPU.
    Also with EE you have the possibility to use In-Memory database cache which allow you to put some critical
    Tables in Memory and get fastest acces to these datas.
    The interest of the EE depends a lot on the features and the power you need for your application. Please, find
    here a link about the differences between Oracle Editions:

  • Oracle Standard Edition and OLAP

    Hi all,
    Am I correct in thinking that datawarehouse and OLAP style features are only available as an extra option when you have purchased Oracle Enterprise edition?
    Are there any OLAP related features that come with Standard edition, or do you have to go the whole hog just to make a basic cube?
    Many thanks

    If you mean Multidimensional OLAP cube, then yes it is only available in the OLAP option that extends Enterprise Edition. But few people need that kind of power.
    Or do you mean 'cube' or 'rollup' described http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10810/aggreg.htm#DWHSG8648 which os a completely different animal. A LOT of ROLAP capability, including cube and rollup, even exist in Express Edition.
