Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal:
Can the recovery catalog and Rman executables use the standard version when target database is an Enterprise Edition?

Solution:
There is no problem with Rman catalog, whether the Rman catalog is on the Enterprise Edition or the Standard Edition.
Rman catalog is just a schema of objects that holds backup metadata for the database.

Recovery catalog can be used on the standard version.
If target database is an Enterprise Edition, you can use the features of all enterprise versions of Rman, even if your catalog is a Standard Edition

You can also use all the features of the Enterprise Edition to back up target database.
Regardless of whether the rman you are using is from the Enterprise Edition or the Standard Edition, Oracle is concerned about which editiion database The Rman is connected to, in this case the Enterprise Edition.

Blockrecovery 3. Incremental backups (until 10g) 4. Features that don ' t apply to the Standard Edition would also not apply in RMAN. Such as Point-in-time tablespace recovery
