Thus a server can have multiple physical sockets and a single physical socket in turn can accommodate a package with more than one execution core. This means that a single physical package has more than one execution core. These days most of the processors are of multicore capability (dual and quad core, also called 2-way and 4-way respectively). Multi-core CPUs have multiple execution cores on the single piece silicon die.

CPU core: The core is a self contained execution unit on the silicon die and capable of doing processing.

CPU package: A silicon die which fit into socket.

Socket: Physical receptacles on server main boards that accommodate CPU packages.

Now let’s take a step further, and discuss hardware terminologies:

Enterprise Edition: The Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (EE) offers industry-leading database solution without any restriction.įor further differences between various database editions, refer MOS Doc ID 465455.1.

Standard Edition: Standard Edition is an affordable, full-featured database for servers with up to four sockets.

Standard Edition One: It is an affordable, full-featured database for servers with up to two sockets.

Personal Edition: This edition of an Oracle Database is designed to provide software developers a cost effective, yet full featured Oracle Database environment without technical limits.

Of course it comes with certain restrictions, It can be installed on any size host machine with any number of CPUs (one database per machine), but can store up to 4GB of user data, use up to 1GB of memory, and use one CPU on the host machine.

Express Edition: This is an entry-level, small-footprint database that’s free.

Oracle database comes in five flavors or edition, each suitable for different scenario.

Now a brief discussion about various Oracle database editions. Please refer references section for further details on OTN licensing. Test and Production environments must be fully licensed and OTN option is only available for development environments. According to this agreement, user can use the licensed product for development purpose and has not the right to deploy applications.

In order to download an Oracle product from OTN, you have to accept the OTN Development License.

You can use full database licenses for development OR optionally you can download absolutely free database software from Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Before delving into actual details, let me quickly touch base on these criteria.ĭatabase environment: Typically we can differentiate database environments into three categories:

Licensing requirements in this case depends on database edition, software environment and whether you want to license based on named users or number of processors. Without further ado, let’s start our discussion with licensing for an Oracle database running on physical servers (non-virtualized environments). With the intention to make this post self-contained, I have discussed some additional things which are related to licensing policies like different Oracle database editions, hardware terminology, Cloud computing etc. Some of the links, I have mentioned at the end for your reference. My intent is to discuss about Oracle policies for educational purpose and if you are planning to buy/renew Oracle license for your environment, I strongly recommend to refer official Oracle policies. This triggered me to dig into the details and write about it. Virtualization and Cloud computing has really made the licensing policies more complex. Secondly technology has evolved very fast in recent years. In latest situation, at my workplace I’ve been asked to review the Oracle licenses for a large data center with virtualized environment. In last few months quite number of times some friends in my network approached me about how Oracle license its products.

First, My experience with Oracle databases always revolved around the performance tuning work, so I never had to bother about licensing bits. Today I’ve chosen to blog about Oracle database licensing policy for two reasons.
