1. This is interesting. No doubt the confusion comes from this document, as well:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/oracle10g/pdf/twp_general_10gdb_product_family_0104.pdf

If we look at the difference between RAC and Partitioning options in the above document it is not clear, actually quite misleading for any non-DBA.Oracle compares SE and EE and for RAC mentions its an extra cost option for EE, but not for SE. Obviously RAC is free for SE, which is the expanation. But, on partitioning it states only 'N' under SE and 'Y' under EE. If you were unfamiliar with SE options, and compared only these two options, you probably conclude the same thing as Leyi. My managers might, too.

2) However, it is quite clear here (partitioning is extra cost on EE):

The pricelist might be a better reference when trying to convince your managers. ;-)
