It never warned you, in our case it was discovered when our supposed sales rep discovered it. When I called this rep she told me that she really isn't a sales rep, she is responsible for contracts only. We had to down grade our servers to be able to afford partitioning (one table only).

Doesn't "processor =3D cpu"?

Also, when installing 10g (on Linux), the Installer doesn't point out = that Partitioning is an extra option like it does with Spatial and = others. Did Oracle throw in the towel?

Here's a gotcha that is not technical, per se, but could cost your company a lot of money:

Oracle CHARGES EXTRA if partitioning is used, and it is not cheap. The list price is 10k per processor (not CPU, but PROCESSOR)! This is not covered in the manuals anywhere, and of course Oracle's manuals and tech support personnel will quite often and quite rightly recommend it as a valid method to address performance and data pruning issues. =20

This will only come to light the next time you have a licensing review. We just got hit with a $500k bill which we're trying to negotiate down...
