The change we made in Oracle Database 12c wrt SecureFiles and LOBs is
that SecureFiles is now the default. So, when you create a LOB column in
a table, if you don't specify BasicFiles or SecureFiles, it will default
to SecureFiles. There is no change to licensing requirements -
SecureFiles is available in all editions of Oracle Database 12c with no
licensing requirements beyond the database license, and using the
compression and deduplication features of SecureFiles LOBs requires
licensing the Advanced Compression Option.
