NOTES
The standard edition has a max of 4 sockets
and oracle do not count cores. So client can have 4 – sockets with dual core/quad cores for Oracle 11g standard
edition

“Pricing for Standard Edition and Standard Edition One Products Now Simpler and More Flexible Than Ever -Oracle
announces socket pricing for Oracle Standard Edition and Standard Edition One products. Oracle now recognizes a
socket as equivalent to a processor for the purposes of counting and licensing these programs. The number of cores
on a chip in a socket does not matter when determining the number of processor licenses required.”

Notes

Defragments free space in index leaf blocks

while a table is online.

Allows for database maintenance without it

forcing a shutdown.

Notes

This feature provides the ability to compress tables

and partitions.

This feature provides an index type commonly used

in data warehouses for
columns with low cardinality, such as 'Y' or 'N', to
dramatically improve performance gains in a data
warehouse application.

Quickly moves or creates a copy of tablespace data.

A transportable tablespace
can be "plugged in" to all editions of the database.
(11G allows cross platform
transport of a tablespace)
Quickly "plugs in" a
transportable tablespace

This feature provides a framework for capturing

change data, publishing
it, and enabling applications to subscribe
to the change data in a controlled fashion.
Change capture occurs asynchronously based on the
information in the Oracle redo logs.

Summary management consists

of mechanisms to define materialized views and
dimensions, refresh and query rewrite mechanisms,
which automatically
redirects queries to stored materialized
views,improving query performance
dramatically. Also includes a collection of
materialized view analysis and advisory
functions and procedures in the DBMS_OLAP
package or via the SQL Access Advisor.

Automated parallel query optimization based on

system utilization.

Notes

Database Resource Manager gives Oracle Database

more control over resource
management decisions, circumventing problems
arising from inefficient
operating system management.

Notes
Oracle Database transparently distributes
query execution across multiple processes,
resulting in excellent performance.

This feature no longer requires the Oracle.

Partitioning option. DML operations are
transparent-ly divided across multiple
processes.

Indexes can be created using parallel processes,

significantly improving
performance of the operation.

The new Data Pump Export and Import utilities can

each be run in parallel, resulting in better
performance in
loading and unloading data and metadata.

Enables parallel Text index creation on non-

partitioned as well as partitioned tables.

Allows both backup and recovery to be run using

parallel processing.

The ANALYZE statement, used to gather statistics on

tables, can be run using
parallel processing. This feature requires
the Partitioning Option.

This algorithm utilizes single-table bitmap indexes

and an advanced star query
join method, resulting in excellent performance
while efficiently utilizing space.

Queries that use an index can scan the index in

parallel with multiple
processes. This requires the Partitioning Option.

Notes
Data Guard provides a comprehensive set of
services that create, maintain, manage, and
monitor one or more standby
databases to enable a production Oracle Database
to survive disasters and
data corruption.

This feature provides fast and predictable recovery

from system failures.

Online index maintenance Online table organization

Online table redefinition

Block-level media recovery Parallel backup and

recovery Change-aware incremental backups
Duplexed backup sets Point-in-time tablespace
recovery Trial recovery

Oracle Flashback Table Oracle Flashback Database

Oracle Flashback Transaction Query.

Notes

Includes basic replication plus multi-master

replication functionality. Advanced Replication
includes online DML during
replication environment changes, Replication
Manager, and parallel
propagation to maximize throughput.

Notes

This feature provides multiplexing, multiprotocol

connectivity, and network
access control.

This feature bridges Oracle Net Services

communities of users that use different
network protocols such as SPX/IPX, TCP/IP,
or LU6.2.
Oracle protocol support now includes support for
the industry-standard
Sockets Direct Protocol (SDP) for Infiniband
high-speed networks. The SDP protocol is a
high-speed communication protocol that speeds up
performance of client/
server and server/server connections. By using SDP,
applications place most of the messaging burden
upon the network
interface card, freeing the CPU for other tasks.

Notes

Oracle Standard Management Pack includes scaled

down functionality from Change
Management, Diagnostics, and Tuning Packs.

Supports easy installation and configuration of

Standby and supports monitoring of
critical Standby operations.

Notes

This feature provides functionality to create

security policies that implement row-level
security.

This features allows the monitoring of database

access based on the
content of the data accessed.

This features allows the definition of enterprise

users and roles.

This feature preserves client identity

throughout all tiers.
Message queuing and apply
features of Oracle Streams
are available in Standard
Edition and Standard
Edition One, but change
capture is available only
in Enterprise Edition.

Oracle Messaging Gateway

consists of an
administration package
for gateway configuration
and management and a
gateway agent that
processes propagation.

build advanced business intelligence applications
that mine corporate databases, reveal new
patterns and relation-ships, and integrate
that information into business applications.

Y The Oracle Diagnostic

Pack provides automatic performance diagnostic
and advanced system monitoring functionality.

Y Oracle Label Security provides sophisticated

and flexible security based on row labels for
fine-grained access control.

Y Oracle OLAP is a scalable,high-performance

calculation engine with fully integrated
management and administration for
delivering analytic applications.

Y Oracle Partitioning lets you store large tables as

retaining a single application-level view of
individually managed smaller pieces, while the data.

Y Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is a database

computing environment that harnesses the processing
power of multiple interconnected computers
using clustering technology.
Y This option comprises an integrated set of functions
and procedures that fac-ilitate analysis based on
the spatial relationships of associated data.

Y The Oracle Tuning Pack provides database

administrators with expert performancemanagement for
the Oracle environment, including SQL tuning and
storage optimizations.
