Careful, or I might be inspired to emulate the IPCC and create acronyms like:

Umm:

HybridColumnarCloudCompression?

DataBaseCloudFileSystem?

FlashbackDataArchiveCloud?

Is your brain hurting yet? ;-)

But Mark, you have to remember that Oracle changes feature names with every
release which complicates looking anything up.



Example: in 11g and below: dynamic sampling and with 12c (and maybe higher):
dynamic statistics. Before that MTS or multi-threaded server became shared
server. It might be fun to compose a list of feature name changes just to see
how many we can remember.

Since this particular feature (SecureFiles) has so often been INCORRECTLY
alleged to need a paid for license upgrade, perhaps it indicates the need for
an asterisk and link to a page of common misconceptions. That page might
contain a bullet list under “included in all editions” limited to a high
level such as the product names that appear in your signature.



The list would be long. I hope each entry would be relational with a unique
identifier being the product name (which in and of itself would be a nice check
for Oracle that it has not identically identified two separate products) and a
link to a document for each product containing relevant information about the
product.



I think this would save both Oracle and its customers from a lot of confusion
going forward. Good luck: This proposal does not make software or sell
software.

Any database feature that doesn't appear in the licensing doc is available in
all editions; if we were to list each and every database feature, most of which
are available in all database editions, it would be a very very long book ;-)

So, because SecureFiles is available in all editions, it doesn't appear in the
licensing guide...

They are even available on Standard Edition - which doesn't seem to be
indicated in the "Feature Availability by Edition" chapter of the licensing
documentation. Perhaps you want to get that included there Kevin? I don't see
any mention of Securefiles there.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to see if using JUST securefiles for LOBS requires an additional
license or not? I don't plan on using compression, deduplication or encryption
(which all require a license). I'm looking everywhere and there isn't much
that is clear on this topic. I've contacted my oracle rep, but he is on
vacation and MOS is taking their time as usual.

Thanks in advance!

Jeremy
