Hi,
I was surprised to here that SE2 is actually downgrade for SE and Oracle nice and easy dumping all of us who purchased SE edition.
According to https://magic.piktochart.com/output/7661615-standard-edition-2 (finally someone explained in some details what is going on ) SE2 is old SE1 plus RAC support.
I do realize that productivity of one CPU is much more stronger in our day than before but dumping all of those who purchased 4 sockets of SE in order to create 2 RACs (2 sockets each) is not nice at all.
In addition limiting 8 threads per database is killing any reason to use it in middle size environment (SE2 will be limited to utilizing 16 CPU threads at any time / for hyper-threaded cores, it is 8 threads/database).
I am not familiar with old SE CPU utilization, but don't recall these kind of restriction.
Can anyone, please, comment on old SE CPU utilization limits.
For now, I am using 2 sockets Xeon server (8 cores / 16 threads each CPU), running one database.
If I am going to move to new SE2, I am basically will be using only 1/4 of y computing power.
This is ridiculous. It is like replacing my SE license with SE1.
Thank you very much.
Andrei
