I'm now considering migrate oracle 7.34 to oracle v8.05 enterprise edition. But oracle sales person never told me that partitioning is optional. But, if you want to using partitioning, you should install it addtionally. Tomorrow, I'll ask to oracle sales man and confirm it. If I'm wrong I'll tell you about it again.

Try to negotiate a 30 day trial license with Oracle
to see if the partitioning option is worth the cost
to your business before you buy it.
