Oracle licensing for partition query

Hi experts
For example if server server1 has 2 instances and let say both are using Partitioning option it will show that we have to be licensed for partitioning twice (for each instance).
If the both running on the same server and make an argument that they are on the same oracle home how would the license cost work out
is it per oracle home/database
thanks

theres a leading question here in that partitioning is an add-on option to an enterprise edition license. So the question isnt if you need to buy the partitioning option twice but what are you adding it on to? have you 2 EE licenses already? If you have 1 CPU, 1 EE CPU license, you need to buy 1 partitioning add-on.

Oracle License for SE and SE1

Dear All,
Just confused after reading multiple documents that Oracle license for SE and SE1 is based on Sockets and not on CPU cores like EE.
So my question is If have 2 socket motherboard and I install 4 CPU cores on these 2 sockets. How should i obtain license from Oracle for SS and EE?
Like only for 2 sockets into per socket license cost for SE? (2 CPU cost for SE)
But for the same machine and for EE edition I have to buy license for 4 CPU cores? (4 CPU cost for EE)
Is this understanding correct?
Also please guide me how to license Logical standby in case if reports are running from Logical standby and if this logical standby is ONLY brought into use when production server fails. What is the difference?
Thanks a lot.
Regards, Imran

by my understanding, Oracle for linux is free for development purpose only. you can use it as long as you are using it only for development. howver, you have to buy proper licenses if you want to deploy it in a production env.
Oracle 8i is several hundreds Meg in size. depending on your internet connection, you may want to request a free CD.

About the Oracle License for Oracle Dataguard

hi,
I have purchased Oracle 10gR2 EE for my primary setup.
And i need to install Oracle 10g R2 Dataguard (Physical Standby), So wheather i need to purchase a serparate license for the same.
I have heard that in Oracle 11gR2 Active data guard that License in required?
with regards
A.Aravind

From the Software Investment Guide - see last sentence
Standby – In this method, one or more copies of a primary database are
maintained on a standby server(s). The sites in a standby configuration may be
dispersed geographically and are connected by Oracle Net Services. As the
primary database is modified, log information generated by the changes are
sent to the standby database(s) and subsequently applied to the standby
database. If the primary database fails, a standby database can be activated to
be the new primary database. Solutions like Oracle Data Guard (included with
Oracle Database EE) or customer-generated scripts can be used. In this
environment, both the primary and the standby databases must be fully
licensed. Additionally, the same metric must be used to license both
databases.

Oracle license for VMWare server

A vendor is telling me I can not put their Oracle database on a VMWare server because it is only licensed for one CPU. I tried to explain I could set the VMWare session to only use one CPU but they said Oracle will not allow that. They have already proven it runs fine on VMWare but refuse to budge saying it is a dumb Oracle licensing requirement.
Is this really true? Is it OK to use a product utilizing an Oracle database licensed for a single CPU to run on a VMWare server if I restrict the session to use only one CPU?

Yes, this is correct. When using Oracle products in a virtual environment, you must count the amount of CPU-cores within the complete environment and/or cluster. So not only the single CPU which was assigned to your virtual server. The idea behind this calculation is simple: you can not guarantee that your virtual server will not consume more CPU power in the near future. You are able to assign more CPU's on the spot.
If you need more info or help buying the right amount against the right price, feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

Can I Specify an Oracle Hint for a Query

We are BW 3.1 Oracle 9.2. We have a few InfoCube queries that would perform better if a full table scan on the fact table was done rather than using the system generated Star Transformation hint.
When use RSRT or other entry points to see the SQL and the Explain plan, I have the option of putting in an Oracle hint and generating another Explain Plan.
Is there any way to save the query with a different Oracle hint than the Star Transformation hint?

Klaus -
Thanks for responding.
It is only a handful of queries that this is an issue with. Overall, we are certainly better off using the star transformation.
Do you know the reasoning behind letting you specify a hint when running a query through RSRV if you can never actually specify those hints for actual production execution? Is the ability to add a hint anything that we might see in the future?
In looking into this a little more, I looked at an explain plan for a query on one of our transactional InfoCubes. We are Oracle 9.2, and transactional Infocubes have B-tree indices rather than bitmap on the F fact table. Presumably to better support the input of transactions. I see in the explain plan that with the star transformation, the btree indices are converted to bitmap, then a bitmap merge, then the result of that is converted back to a btree index to read the F fact table. Without the star transformation, the query cost is half, so the ability to suppress the star transformation on F fact queries on transactional cubes would also be nice.
At another job, I used to use Brio to query a data warehouse and although Brio didn't have facility to specify a hint, you could define a calculated field in the query and actually enter the hint text as the calculation and as long as that field was the first to follow the Select stmt, it was recognized as an Oracle hint. Maybe there could be some way to sneak a hint into the query. It's not something you would want every query developer doing, but as long as someone knew when it was appropriate to override/surpress star transformation, it would be nice to be able to do.

Oracle Licensing for a server with Quad Core Processor

I know Oracle Standard Edition ONE is only licensed to install on a server with a max of 2 processors.
1) Now when it comes to the type of processor does it matter what type of processors they are ?
2) Can we have 2 Quad Core Processors on the server and install the Standard Edition One ( and comply to Oracle Licensing) ?
Please do not direct me to Oracle Sales Rep, I want inputs from the Oracle experts from this forum

Therefore you MUST get the final answer from someone with authority to speak on behalf of Oracle - and that is a Sales Rep.
However, in the mean time, you can read http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/sig-070616.pdf .
SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT PAGE 15. Many people (including some in this thread) are totaly wrong about how Standard Edition is licensed.

Oracle license for Linux (It's free?)

i will work most of the time in university, the problem is that there are not other projects working with oracle, so my question is if the university would have to buy any license in order to support my project?
i have to add that i will be working nearly one year and a half in this project
hope someone help with my question

As far i know, you need a license if you are using oracle commercially. I might be wrong, you can confirm this from oracle.

Partition license for oracle 9i

Dear all,
we are having oracle 9i database (9.2.0.4) on hp-ux platform. The database is being used for DWH purpose, so table partitioning feature is used.
We have cpu based Oracle enterprise edition license for this database. Please suggest if we need to procure any license for partitioning feature too or the same license will work for Oracle 9i database?
As nowhere i found anything about partitioning license for oracle 9i database, though for oracle10g it is written in documentation that partitioning feature is optional package and we need to procure additional license for it.
Thanks in advance...

for license Information you should contact oracle local office in your country , Also note that 9i is unsupported now .

Need for an aditional enterprise oracle license in a cluster

Hello,
I would like to know about the oracle licensing (*enterprise 11g*) of the following structure:
# Cluster of an active-passive operating system with only one active server. The secondary node will take over the services only in case of failure of the primary.
# A secondary data center with one more node of the cluster and with data replication from the primary storage.
I know that for the cluster will require the licensing of only one server.
I wonder about the need for one more Oracle license for the second mentioned structure, where the passive server would only be used in case of failure of the cluster.
Thanks in advance!

You really, really, really want to have this conversation with Oracle Sales. Nothing anyone says here is in any way authoritative-- if there is ever an audit, you really don't want to explain that some guy on the internet with a playing card logo next to his name said it was OK. The answer may depend on the country you're in, your existing license agreements, your ability to negotiate with Oracle, your desire to buy other Oracle products, how much your sales rep likes you, the phase of the moon, how close your rep is to making their quota, your astrological symbol, and dozens of other factors. In other words, any answer would need to be taken with a few hundred grains of salt.
You'll want to refer to the Software Investment Guide, specifically the Backup/Failover/Standby/Remote Mirroring section. In general, you can have one failover node so long as you do not fail over for more than 10 calendar days per year and immediately go back to the primary once it is repaired. In general, you would need to fully license the failover data center. But, as I said, this is all subject to negotiation.

Oracle licensing

Dear All
I am writing this query to take a dessition on the purchase of Oracle licenses for my company.
My company is planning to impliment Oracle E business ERP . The following are the detaild spec of my company's enviornment.
Server
HP Proliant DL 380 G5 server
core duo 2 GHz processor
4 GB RAM
C drive Mirrored
D drive RAID5
In my company almost 50 users are expected to be use the erp software
We are planning to install Oracle Database and Application in the same server.
Our ERP implementing company is saying that they are using Oracle 10g DB (Std Edn)and 10 g Application (Enterprise Edn)
They send me a proposal for the licensing (Named User Licensing)
Here I am confused with this licensing structure
Can sombody guid me which kind of license i want to purchase
Regards
sumanlal

Here I am confused with this licensing structure.
named user?You have two options:
1) Named users plus --> If you can determine the number of users (or an average)
2) Processor --> If you cannot determine the number of users
Is it the Oracle users which we are creating in Oracle?
(User name and password to log in to the ERP)Correct, total number of users defined in the system (not concurrent users).
I am afraid that if I created a user account under Oracle and the same person is leaving the company …. I cannot use that license anymore? Is it true?If you disable this user (account is not used anymore), then you can use the same license for another (new) user.
Can I use the same User ID to log in to the application from different desktops same time?
Is there any limitation on number of sessions that can open by a names user?You cannot just create one account and use it by different users; each user should have his/her own account.
If I am going for named user licensing How many user license I want to purchase
And I am looking for a lifetime license term Refer to the same document, under "How much software do we need to purchase now?" section.
Again, I would suggest you contact your Oracle Sales Representative for more details about the license.

Regarding using text editor in 11g for writting query

how can i use text editor in oracle 11g for writting query as in oracle 9i in which we use 'ed' command.

However I assume you are using sqlplus
If this is the case define the _EDITOR variable to one of the following as appropriate ....
DEFINE _EDITOR=notepad
DEFINE _EDITOR=vi
For more assistance use the database general forum.

Oracle licensing question- per server or instance?

We have 2 vendor/3rdparty applications that uses oracle database and purchased oracle licenses for both. They used to run on separate servers. Last year we consolidated these two oracle instances on a single server. Now we are looking to add a 3rd and 4th vendor/3rdparty application using oracle database. All require Oracle 9i Standard.
Is the oracle licence valid for the server and all instances running on it ?
or
Is the oracle license valid per instance? In other words, are we required to purchase a 3rd and 4th license for the new application instances being added?

Oracle Database licensing is based on named user OR on number of processors. See http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/databaselicensing.pdf

Oracle License needed?

My daughter wants to use Oracle Spatial in her senior design project at UMASS Amherst. Does she need an Oracle license for this? If yes, is there a 'student/education' license available?

I think it is free.
See here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
"All software downloads are free, and each comes with a Development License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications (or for strictly self-educational purposes)."
I didn't go to the law school so I'm not sure.

Extract DDL for Partitioned tables in Oracle 8i

Hi
I am currently working on an Oracle 8i database. I have a need to extract the DDL of the existing tables & indexes. Dont need a schema level DDL extract, i just need it for a couple of tables and the corresponding indexes. I am currently using PL/SQL Developer a third party tool which is okay for extracting DDL for Non Partitioned tables, but when it comes to getting the DDL for PARTITIONED tables, it doesnt give me the partition information nor the tablespace information. We dont have a license for Toad or any other tools to get the DDL's. I also dont have the export/import privs on the DB. I need a free ware that can give me the DDL for the existing partitioned tables or atleast a query that I can run against the regular DBA views, which can give me the DDL along with Storage clause, the tablespace, indexes, grants & constraints.
Thanks in Advance
Chandra

I also dont have the export/import privs on the DB. I need a
free ware that can give me the DDL for the existing
partitioned tables or atleast a query that I can run
against the regular DBA views, which can give me the
DDL along with Storage clause, the tablespace,
indexes, grants & constraints.But you (or the owner or the tables you connect with) should have export/import privs on its on tables (i.e the two tables). So use the User Views instead of DBA Views.
USER_TABLES, USER_TAB_PARTITIONS etc
