In the Oracle Documentation "Getting to Know Oracle8i, Release 8.1.5" Chapter 4 "Oracle8i Feature and Option Availability" you have some information you need: the Features and Options for standard and EE edition.

This is the Option list (this is an extract, not the full text):

8i 8iEE Option

N	Y	Oracle Advanced Security
N	Y	Oracle Change Management Pack
N	Y	Oracle Diagnostics Pack
Y	Y	Oracle interMedia
Y	N	Oracle JServer
N 	Y 	Oracle JServer Enterprise Edition
N	Y	Oracle JServer Enterprise Edition Accelerator
N 	Y 	Oracle Parallel Server
N 	Y 	Oracle Partitioning
Y 	Y 	Oracle Programmer
N 	Y 	Oracle Spatial
Y	N	Oracle Standard Management Pack
Y	Y	Oracle Time Series
N	Y	Oracle Tuning Pack
N 	Y 	Oracle Visual Information Retrieval
Y	Y	Oracle WebDB

For the "Spatial Option" you need EE edition. I'm on a Spatial project.
Keep in touch!
