Standard & Personal Editions
Standard Edition
- Does not support parallel server, partitioning
- License permits maximum 4 processors
Personal Edition
- Single user desktop edition for Windows NT, 2000 and XP
- SQL and PL/SQL compatibility with other editions
- Exceptions where features are ties to EE add-on
- e.g. OLAP, Data Mining
Notes:
Standard Edition will not scale up as much as Enterprise Edition because it will not support Parallel Server and Partitioning. An abbreviated list of other features that Standard Edition does not support:
Online table redefinition
Online index coalesce
Parallel Query
Parallel DML
Parallel index build
Parallel index scans
Personal Edition is a single-user license for desktops – Windows NT, XP and 2000. Excellent for application development and learning Oracle. Applications built with this platform can be migrated to Standard or Enterprise Edition without code changes.
