Stony Brook University
Oracle Site License Fact Sheet
Current Version
Oracle DBMS software is on campus and available for the following platform:
Sun Solaris
Oracle tools are available for the following platforms: Windows, Macintosh, Sun Solaris.
Other Platforms and Versions
Oracle is presently implemented on about 128 different computing platforms. Most of these are available to us.
If the particular product is not already on Campus, the license manager, Sanjay Kapur, will request the
appropriate software from the Common SUNY Support Center at Buffalo State. If the software exists at
Buffalo, it will be shipped to us over the SUNY DECNET network that night. If Buffalo does not have it, and it
is determined that we are entitled to it under the terms of the SUNY-Wide Site License, the Common SUNY
Support Center (CSSC) will request it from Oracle and send it on to us as soon as possible.
How to Obtain Oracle
To obtain Oracle, an Oracle Campus-Wide Site License Agreement form must be completed and submitted for
each participating CPU/Operating System. The agreement forms should be sent to Systems Support,
see address on License Agreement page 2. Upon receipt of signed agreement, the software will be released.
Sanjay Kapur has been designated License Manager for Stony Brook. As such, he will accept and fulfill
requests for the Oracle software products. In addition, he is required to report to the Common SUNY Support
Center, on a quarterly basis, the CPU serial numbers of all CPU's with Oracle installed.
Support
The large amount of different platforms and operating systems make local support extremely difficult. The
CSSC has instituted a system on electronic mail request for answering questions concerning the various
software products. They keep questions and answers in a searchable database that can be referred to by support
center personnel. They require e-mail questions and will respond with e-mail answers. The CSSC has the
ability to go directly to Oracle for questions it cannot answer.
Documentation
Documentation is available directly from Oracle at about a 40% discount. There are prepackaged collections of
documentation for various platforms that are not discounted but are attractively priced as compared to individual
manual purchase. An almost complete list of Oracle Documentation is available in the Oracle publication
"Oracle Technical Publications Catalog and Price Guide" 3903-50-0192. Additional information and ordering
can be done by calling Hallie R. Alderman at Oracle (415) 506-6822.
