Description

Oracle Introduces PostgreSQL Running Native on OCI


This IDC Market Note summarizes a recent announcement made by Oracle Corporation regarding a new OCI service in support of PostgreSQL. It includes an explanation of the service and how the OCI features make the database more robust and performant than it would be in a do-it-yourself scenario and offers a view regarding the overall significance of this announcement."On November 14, Oracle announced general availability of the OCI Database with PostgreSQL service, which makes the full open source PostgreSQL operational on OCI as a database service with full Oracle support," says Carl Olofson, research vice president for Data Management Software research at IDC. "Most database services that support PostgreSQL applications are either actually built on modified versions of PostgreSQL or merely emulate the PostgreSQL API and SQL (i.e., they are 'wire compatible'). By contrast, this service offers the full open source PostgreSQL that is available based on upstream PostgreSQL open source community team (formally called the PostgreSQL Global Development Group)."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
