This chapter describes the separately licensed Oracle Database options, management packs, and other products you can purchase to enhance the capabilities of Oracle Database in specific application environments. This chapter contains the following sections:
You may not use the options, packs, or products described below without separately purchased licenses. The fact that these options, packs, or products may be included in product CDs or downloads or described in documentation that you receive does not authorize you to use them without purchasing appropriate licenses.
All the Oracle Database options can be purchased with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. Oracle Real Application Clusters is included with Oracle Database Standard Edition. You cannot purchase any options with Oracle Database Standard Edition One or Oracle Express Edition. The Personal Edition includes all options except Oracle Real Application Clusters at no additional cost.
Oracle Advanced Security provides transparent data encryption of data stored in the database, the encryption of disk-based backups of the database, and also network encryption for data traveling across the network between the database and client or mid-tier applications. In addition it provides a complete suite of strong authentication services to Oracle Database. Network encryption is implemented using industry-standard data encryption and data integrity algorithms. This feature provides a choice of algorithms and cipher strengths for deployment. Strong authentication services support a comprehensive suite of industry-standard third-party authentication options. The authentication options include single sign-on services to the Oracle Database by interoperating with existing authentication frameworks and two-factor authentication choices such as smart cards and token cards.
If you wish to use Enterprise User Security in Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, you no longer need to license the Oracle Advanced Security Option for password-based authentication. However, you must license Oracle Internet Directory (OID). If you wish to use stronger authentication alternatives (such as Kerberos or PKI) for Enterprise User Security, you must license Oracle Advanced Security and the Oracle Internet Directory (OID). Any Oracle Advanced Security licenses purchased on or before January 31, 2004, have restricted use of the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to support enterprise user security. Please contact your Oracle sales representative for additional information.
Oracle Content Database Suite provides core document management services on Oracle Database. Oracle Content Database Suite is an option to the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. Features of this option include the following:
Repository:
Oracle Content Database
Oracle Content Server
Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (restricted use—see "Restricted-Use Licensing")

Oracle Data Mining enables you to build advanced business intelligence applications that mine corporate databases, reveal new patterns and relationships, and integrate that information into business applications. This option embeds data mining functionality into Oracle Database for making classifications, predictions, and associations. All model-building, scoring, and metadata management operations are accessible by way of either a Java or PL/SQL API.
Oracle Database Vault lets you control who, when, and where data and applications can be accessed—protecting your business against the most common security threat: malicious internal users. Enforcing separation of duties, even among administrators, Oracle Database Vault additionally serves as a powerful preventive control to help comply with today's stringent compliance and privacy requirements.
It improves your ability to meet compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulations that mandate control of access to, and release of, sensitive information
It controls access to application and database data, even by super-users and other highly privileged users
It enforces multi factor authorization via flexible business rules
It shows who is accessing what and when via over three dozen out-of-the-box security reports
Oracle Database Vault is an option for Oracle Database 10g. However, it has also been provided for an earlier release as well, specifically Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.8), on a limited number of platforms. Please contact your Oracle Sales Representative if you are interested in Oracle Database Vault as an option on Oracle9i Database.
Oracle Label Security provides sophisticated and flexible security based on row labels for fine-grained access control. This option employs labeling concepts used by government, defense, and commercial organizations to protect sensitive information and provide data separation. It includes a powerful tool to manage policies, labels, and user label authorizations.
By default, Oracle Label Security is configured to use Oracle Database for all policy management. Users interested in centralized policy management using the Oracle identity management infrastructure must additionally license Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite. Please contact your Oracle sales representative for additional information.
Oracle OLAP is a scalable, high-performance calculation engine with fully integrated management and administration for delivering analytic applications. Fully integrated in the database, this option provides a complete set of analytic functions. Predictive analysis can be used, for example, to forecast market trends, predict product manufacturing requirements, and build enterprise budgeting and financial analysis systems. Using complex, multidimensional queries and calculations, information such as market shares and net present value can be derived. The Java OLAP API provides efficient object-orientation for building applications that require complex analytic queries.
Oracle Partitioning enhances the data management environment for OLTP, data mart, data warehouse, and content management applications by adding significant manageability, availability, and performance capabilities to large underlying database tables and indexes. Oracle Partitioning lets you store large tables as individually managed smaller pieces, while retaining a single application-level view of the data. Range, hash, list, and composite (range combined with hash and range combined with list) partitioning methods are supported.
Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) is a database computing environment that harnesses the processing power of multiple interconnected computers using clustering technology. RAC provides unlimited scalability and high availability for all applications. RAC makes the database highly available in the presence of computer hardware or software failure: in the event any computer in the cluster fails, the database continues to provide service on the surviving computers in the cluster. RAC provides scalable performance: as demand for database throughput grows, additional computers can be added to the database cluster with no downtime. RAC supports a single-system image for ease of management. RAC also provides a complete and integrated stack of clustering software on all platforms; third-party clusterware software is not required. Finally, RAC provides cluster file system capability on the Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms.
The license restrictions for Standard Edition must be adhered to. The maximum number of CPUs defined is for the entire cluster; it is not a per node maximum.
Oracle Clusterware is required; third-party clusterware is not permitted.
Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is required for the storage of:
Database data files
Online logs
Archive logs
Control files
Server parameter files (spfiles)
Flash Recovery Area
RAW disk partitions are required for:
Voting disk
Oracle Cluster Registry
Local storage must be used for:
Oracle Home
Trace files
Dump files
No Oracle-maintained copies of any of the above files can exist in any other locations, with the following exception: Customers who want to manually script maintenance of a standby database can create a second copy of their archive logs outside of ASM on a local file system only, designated by the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
RMAN backups of files can reside on either a local or network mounted file system.
No other cluster software can be installed on the system, including, OCFS, OCFS2, third-party clusterware, third-party cluster volume managers, and third-party cluster file systems.
Extended or stretch clusters are not supported with Standard Edition and RAC. An Extended or stretch cluster is defined as "A cluster where all nodes are not located in the same roomÓ.
Oracle Records DB supports regulatory compliance and risk management through secure, policy-based retention and disposition management and access control of content stored within Oracle Content Database Suite and other repositories.
Oracle Content Database Suite is a prerequisite for Records DB. You must license Oracle Content Database Suite in order to license Oracle Records DB.
Oracle Spatial provides advanced spatial analysis features for complex geographic information systems (GIS) applications, enterprise applications, and location-based services applications. It augments the Oracle Locator feature, which provides storage, analysis, and indexing of location data accessible through SQL and standard programming languages, supporting seamless integration of location data into enterprise applications, and use of any leading third-party GIS tool to access location data. Oracle Spatial advanced features include GeoRaster for storage, indexing, and analysis of image and gridded raster data, such as satellite imagery and remotely sensed data; a network data model that allows users to model and analyze link-node networks (graphs) for applications; a topology data model and schema to persistently manage topology; a fully functional geocoding engine and routing engine; and location-based analysis functions for business intelligence applications, including location-based classification, binning, association, and correlation. Oracle Spatial also supports spatial data manipulation and analysis such as buffer generation, area/distance calculations, linear referencing, and more.
The Enterprise ETL option enables large scale, complex ETL deployments. Developers can incorporate advanced functionality such as retaining history for dimensions, reusing mapping code, performing interactive lineage and impact analysis, and defining custom types of objects in the repository. This option also enables the rapid movement of large amounts of data, and the construction of advanced process flows.

The sections that follow describe the Oracle management packs. The management packs can be purchased only with Enterprise Edition. The features in these packs are accessible through Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and APIs provided with Oracle Database software.
The Oracle Change Management Pack enables administrators to evaluate, plan, and implement database schema changes. Using the Change Management Pack, administrators can investigate and track changes, compare and synchronize objects and schemas, modify schema objects, evaluate the change impact, and if required undo changes that have been made previously. The Change Management Pack makes change management simple and efficient and minimizes chances for error, thereby reducing the opportunity for data loss and system down-time.
The Change Management Pack includes the following features:
Reverse engineer database and schema definitions
Capture and version baselines
Compare databases and schemas, or baselines
Copy database objects with data, with a subset of the data, or without data
Update database object definitions (ALTER TABLE)
Synchronize objects and schemas
Evaluate the impact of changes
Clone or propagate application schemas
In order to use the features listed above you must install the Java console version of Enterprise Manager, which you can find in the /companion directory of the installation medium. The use of this interface requires licensing of the Change Management Pack.
The Oracle Configuration Management Pack automates the time-consuming and often error prone process of software configuration, software and hardware inventory tracking, patching, cloning and policy management. The Configuration Management Pack includes the following features:
