Pete,
Your response triggered a question. Could you please define
"non-production environment"? Would a database created for development of
production applications be considered licensable?

Ah, my friend Mr. Jambu. 'Bout time you stopped lurking out there! :)
Couple of comments. Firstly, there IS something stopping you from
accessin=
g these things - something I know you have in abundance. Those things are
=
called honesty and integrity. ;)
And of course they are followed up by the license police. It's the usual
O=
racle policy. There is nothing in your license (if I understand it
correct=
ly, anyway) that stops you from using ANY functionality in a
non-Production=
environment. Even the downloads off OTN are fully functioning, not term
l=
imited and so on. But once you use that stuff in Production, if it's a
sep=
arately licensable option we expect your money, your wife, and your
daughte=
r (OK, it's really just the money we want).
And I would suggest this to everyone - particularly Darrell who I think
rai=
sed this point. Try the packs out. I think you'll find there is an
ENORMO=
US amount more in this stuff than 10046 and the Hotsos Profiler (not that
I=
mean to disparage the profiler, since Cary would kill me if I did!)

Hi Kirti
There is nothing stopping anyone from accessing the =
views and functions. =
Be aware that these option packs are not offered with the Standard Edition
=
or Standard Edition One RDBMS.
So you think that you are doing the right thing by not using these
products=
and will not require these optional packs right? In reality, you may be
u=
sing them without knowing it. =
The underlying objects, programs and views are created by default in 10g.
=
If you access any of the following views: =
7 The V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY dynamic performance view =
7 All data dictionary views beginning with the prefix DBA_HIST_*
alon=
g with their underlying tables.
and others mentioned in the link above, you are required to purchase the
op=
tional EM packs. =
Basically big brother is auditing _all_ the features you are accessing!
