Marco,
If you are using partitioning, it comes only with Enterprise Edition with
Partitioning option (as an extra cost) on top of it - must be very expensive
for an embedded database.
If you are looking for an alternative, take a look at PostgreSQL.
It is Open Source db, which has partitioning feature, not as advanced as in
Oracle, but still quite usable (and useful).
The other attractive feature of Postgres for you could be the fact that
Postgres procedural language (PlPgSQL) is pretty close to Oracle's PL/SQL.
Regards,
Igor Neyman
