From my understanding, Total Recall is just another name for Flashback Data
Archive.
FBDA became a “free” option with patchset 11.2.0.4 as long as you use it with
no compression or BASIC compression…not compress for OLTP. I would assume you
have to be one 11.2.0.4 patchset for this to work.
The fact that Oracle is trying to “ding” you because they see flashback logs
makes no sense. Flashback logs have nothing to do with Total Recall or FBDA.
They are purely for Flashback Database, a non-licensed option anyway. Please
someone correct me if I am wrong here, but, I have never heard of Flashback
Database being licensed.

Subject: Total Recall License - but out of compliance - what?
Guys,
I know this touches on a licensing discussion but my questions are a little
different.
We have 2 Total Recall Licenses:
1 - 8 Proc Full Use - expires 10/12/2015
1 - 200 Named User Plus full use - expires 10/12/2015
However, Total Recall "went away" at some point and was rolled into Advanced
Compression.
Question #1:
Does anyone know when Total Recall was no longer an option outside of Advanced
Compression?
Second part - we are getting dinged by Oracle for not having Advanced
Compression licensed because we were using flashback data logs (Total Recall).
Question #2:
Anyone have any input on how we can have a support agreement for Total Recall
(part of Advanced Compression) and not have Advanced Compression - thereby
getting dinged on the audit for non-compliance?
Regards,
Chris Taylor
