The last release I remember you needed a separate license was 5, but maybe it was the case in 6 as well. Focusing on 9i, http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A95493_01/componen.htm#634251 shows what components need separate licenses. Pro*C isn't one of them. De options markes with a separate license note are: - Advanced security - Change Management Pack - Diagnostics Pack - Internet Directory (for general purpose LDAP usage) - Label Security - OLAP - Partitioning - RAC - Spatial - Tuning Pack - Advanced Analytic Services - Data Mining However, Oracle licensing details aren't available in a prominently visable clear matrix on their website, it's more or less obfuscated, hidden in all sorts of documents. Otherwise these questions might not arise so often in this list..... Therefore, I need a disclaimer here: The observation that you do not need to license Pro*C separately is just my personal observation, and final answers about licensing are only available from authorized Oracle employees! ;-) Best regards, Carel-Jan Engel === If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
