Then as yourself, attach oracle and cd
/mit/oracle/oracle-7.1.6/dist/orainst. (You need to be in the
oracledist group to do this, although it's not clear why, since we
have a site license... someone should figure this out some day...)
The reason why is because we didn't get a site license for ProC and
sqlplus, so we're probably don't have licenses for the ProC installed on
DCL, Moira, TTSP, etc., and for the sqlplus installed on the moira
server.
After talking to Scott about this, we both agreed that it would be
really good idea for MIT to get sqlplus included into the site license,
or at least enough so that we can have one copy of sqlplus for every
Oracle server license (in fact, I couldn't believe that it's a
separately licensed product, since it's such fundamental tool...).
As far as ProC is concerned, I think it would probably be a good idea to
get that included into the site license, but it probably depends on how
much extra Oracle wants for it. We're paying them enough, though, that
perhaps they'll be willing to throw those two additional components in
for a nominal fee.
Susan, what do you think?

P.S. I still have ProC installed on DCL, since I needed it to build the
Moira/Warehouse extract program (and I'm still tuning the program a
bit). One way or the other, we're going to need to investigate doing
what we need to do in order to get all of the requisite licenses for the
Moira service.
