It is included in a typical install, but it is not included in a
typical license, ie it is a separate cost option.
Note: if you have it installed, Oracle assumes you use it. If you
don't use it, and you don't have a license, it is advisable to deinstall,
to avoid 'compliancy issues' (talking from experience).
Obviously Oracle Partitioning is about *table* partitioning. As far as
I know the 'Family' documents are not THAT unclear.
