Zhou - Ask your vendor, BAAN. Do they require Enterprise? If not buy Standard. You can examine the list of features that Enterprise offers to see if you feel you will be missing something essential. The following document has a list of features for each version. http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/9idb_rel2_prod_fam.pdf

I have got two different quotes for Oracle Enterprise Server and Oracle Standard; it seems the former is quite expensive. What problems will I get if I buy the cheaper Standard version. This Oracle will be used for BAAN ERP implementation. The environment will be IBM RS6000, AIX 5L and a mixture of LAN and WAN clients Thanks in advance for you advice Regards Tapiwa -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Zhou, Tapiwanashe INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
