Operating Systems Solaris Oracle DBA licensing on Solaris 11 LDOMS Post 303009383 by am115998 on Wednesday 13th of December 2017 07:35:48 PM

SPARC T systems run a hypervisor, so even the primary partition is virtualised!
Yes, named user plus works in a 'virtual' environment.
The caveats here are:
  • Oracle only deal in whole integer units w.r.t. cores. If you use a 4 vCPU LDom (i.e. 0.5 of a SPARC T core) you still use 1 core licence on that system
  • The users count has a minimum like er.. 20 (I think) <ouch!>
Acceptable technologies to 'hard' partition a Solaris 'instance' - according to Oracle - also include zones with either a dedicated-cpu or capped-cpu setting.
The dedicated-cpu setting apparently fixes the CPUs that will run RDBMS threads.

Ironically the capped-cpu setting caps concurrent threads. It allows Oracle RDBMS to run on any CPU core it can see, capping the concurrency.
The irony of this setting is that in a VMware cluster (not ESX server but whole cluster of them) Oracle claim that there is a potential for RDBMS threads to run on any CPU in the cluster and thus they total the CPUs in the cluster to calculate the licence fee.
Hmmm...

Note that the OS hardware and state are recorded in an audit table within an Oracle RDBMS. Oracle are happy to query that and back charge if you are tardy in getting your resource utilisation under control. Then there are licenced features... but you didn't ask about those in this post! Smilie

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)	User Contributed Perl Documentation	  DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)

NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins - Oracle joins in WHERE syntax support (instead of ANSI). PURPOSE
This module is used with Oracle < 9.0 due to lack of support for standard ANSI join syntax. SYNOPSIS
DBIx::Class should automagically detect Oracle and use this module with no work from you. DESCRIPTION
This class implements Oracle's WhereJoin support. Instead of: SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id It will write: SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id It should properly support left joins, and right joins. Full outer joins are not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire query be written to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is called to create the where query and table definition part of the SQL query, it's already too late. METHODS
See DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::OracleJoins for implementation details. BUGS
Does not support full outer joins. Probably lots more. SEE ALSO
