Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Installing options later
Hemant,
From my experience with Oracle's License Management Services you can go ahead and install partitioning when you install the software. It's on the honor system, but Oracle will not get upset so long as you don's do any partitioning until you have paid for the option. If they have a question a query against DBA_TAB_PARTITIONS is the final arbiter. Namely if there are no rows returned your not using it. If there are, then you owe them some cash. You might create a daily job that checks that the row count remains at 0 until the option is paid for. Just to keep the developers honest.

How do you handle a requirement to install database options later -- after the database is live ?
Owing to budget constraints, a new database implementation in 9i will be
going without
the Partitioning Option. The ORACLE_HOME will be installed without the option.
Later, after a year [when business improves and IT get's bigger budgets] we
plan to
install the Partitioning Option.
How difficult is it to install an option and re-apply RDBMS patches later ?
Consider options like
