I've got a client that needs "distributed option" installed on several databases,
versions 7.3.4, 8.0.5, and 8.1.7...

Problem may be I'm not sure we'll have all the CD's as vendors of applications did most of the installs and we think we'll
find that they took the CD's with them.
After all, if it's up and running and
vendor supported(or was), why would the
client need the CD?

Anyhow, is it just a "free" option that will need to be selected with the Oracle installer, or is it an "add on" that one is supposed to contact Oracle on? Or perhaps it just involves running one of those all but undocumented packages.

There are many ways to work around this if we have to, but would like to know what all is involved if we can get the distributed option installed on all of their databases.

It's on my Personal Oracle, but seems to be part of a general set of things that
get installed.
