Re: Oracle Options

No. If you need the data in the database then do a full export, drop the database, de-install Oracle, re-install Oracle with the options that you want, create a database and import your data.

On the other hand, you might question why you want the options dropped.

As I understand it, partitioning is available only with the Enterprise Edition (EE). If you have the Enterprise Edition, then you're paying for the Enterprise Edition whether or not you use partitioning.

As always, your milage may varry. Research the options and find out if they are priced separately or are just a part of the particular edition of the Oracle that you are using. I'm not in procurement so I don't have these details handy.
