Hi!

I installed Oracle 18c on one of my virtual machines. Here is the output of the "lsnrctl status":

LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 18.0.0.0.0 - Production on 27-AUG-2018 14:08:50

Wallets are turned on by default, despite not being configured in sqlnet.ora. AFAIK, wallets have always been an option which needed to be purchased separately. Does it mean that they are included in the EE? I found the document where the changes are now described:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/dbimi/release-changes.html#GUID-F3DB8384-C4C9-40DF-9C00-3E7786933EE1

It says nothing about having to pay for the wallets. If wallets are now free, I'd suggest to Oracle to make partitioning option free as well.

Regards
