Oracle SE2 Concerns

Oracle, in its latest version of their flagship database product, has come up with only two editions:

Oracle Database Enterprise Edition; and
Oracle Standard Edition 2 (Oracle SE2).

So what ?

Well, the catch is in the licensing and migration:

Oracle SE2 will be the replacement for Oracle Standard Edition and also for Oracle Standard Edition One.
Oracle SE2 can be licensed for servers with a max of 2 sockets.

From a recent experience, a customer used the knowledge and the impact assessment to their benefit in more ways than they could imagine saving a lot of money and mitigating future risks.

Be careful while migrating.
