But care should be exercised in how and what version of it is installed. SE for 8i and 9i were just about useless: a lot of essentials for any reasonable sized database were simply not there. It's only with 10g that SE becomes usable with RMAN and a few other goodies included, IIRC. I wonder if the "TCO zealots" are factoring in the cost of h/w and s/w upgrades necessary to run Vista... because if they are, the story is definitely not good. An OS by itself is useless, even more so when it breaks just about every other app one uses. Regardless of how much "wow" polish has been added. Yes, IME SE can be just about good enough.

I use Standard Edition & named user plus and I am happy that I have a very fast application compared to other solutions. David Hi,

I use Standard Edition & named user plus and I am happy that I have a very fast application compared to other solutions.
