1513.0. "What Oracle to use in a NT Cluster?" by VAXRIO::NOVELLO (Cristina Novello - Sales Suport/RJ) Thu Feb 13 1997 17:11

    Hi,
    
    our customer wants to buy a NT cluster using Oracle.
    Due to cost reasons, he intends to buy Oracle Workgroup 
    instead of Oracle Enterprise.
    Oracle Brazil says that NT cluster doesn't work with
    Oracle Workgroup, that the customer needs the Enterprise
    license.
    
    Is that true?
    
    Thanks,
    Cristina.

1513.1less than half an answer I guessALFAM7::GOSEJACOBFri Feb 14 1997 06:4813
    To put it up front: I haven't tried to install Oracle in NT yet but if
    Oracle licenses work the same way as on Unix what you pay for are the
    options on your contract. At least on Unix Oracle does not have any
    licensing technology built into their software. So if you get a hold of
    the right CD you will be able to install whatever you like.
    
    BUT!!! (and I guess that's true for any real world customer) you only
    get support from Oracle for what you pay for, e.g. Oracle Parallel
    Server Option.
    
    Hope this helps

1513.2Both are supportedJPS1::MCCROREYMon Feb 17 1997 12:395
Digital NT Clusters supports both Oracle Workgroup Server and Oracle
Enterprise server. In fact, Clusters 1.0 only claimed to support
Workgroup but both would work. Cluster 1.1 which is being released in
March states that both are supported.
