Careful, or I might be inspired to emulate the IPCC and create acronyms like:

Just imagining it hurt. Now I may never recover. Having Cloud appear in a random order among the other word really ads to the effect.

 

 

CloudIndexTables (randomly dropping a current word) is my next bid. Abbreviated IOTc.

Umm:

HybridColumnarCloudCompression?

DataBaseCloudFileSystem?

FlashbackDataArchiveCloud?

Is your brain hurting yet? ;-)

Yes. It seems likely that all of Kevin J’s products will be named after water vapor concentrations in the sky after the pattern SecureCloudFiles, probably using hump case.

But Mark, you have to remember that Oracle changes feature names with every release which complicates looking anything up.

 

Example: in 11g and below: dynamic sampling and with 12c (and maybe higher): dynamic statistics.  Before that MTS or multi-threaded server became shared server.  It might be fun to compose a list of feature name changes just to see how many we can remember.

Since this particular feature (SecureFiles) has so often been INCORRECTLY alleged to need a paid for license upgrade, perhaps it indicates the need for an asterisk and link to a page of common misconceptions. That page might contain a bullet list under “included in all editions” limited to a high level such as the product names that appear in your signature.

 

The list would be long. I hope each entry would be relational with a unique identifier being the product name (which in and of itself would be a nice check for Oracle that it has not identically identified two separate products) and a link to a document for each product containing relevant information about the product.

 

I think this would save both Oracle and its customers from a lot of confusion going forward. Good luck: This proposal does not make software or sell software.

Any database feature that doesn't appear in the licensing doc is available in all editions; if we were to list each and every database feature, most of which are available in all database editions, it would be a very very long book ;-)

So, because SecureFiles is available in all editions, it doesn't appear in the licensing guide...

They are even available on Standard Edition - which doesn't seem to be indicated in the "Feature Availability by Edition" chapter of the licensing documentation. Perhaps you want to get that included there Kevin? I don't see any mention of Securefiles there.

Hello everyone,
 
I wanted to see if using JUST securefiles for LOBS requires an additional license or not?  I don't plan on using compression, deduplication or encryption (which all require a license).  I'm looking everywhere and there isn't much that is clear on this topic.  I've contacted my oracle rep, but he is on vacation and MOS is taking their time as usual.  
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Jeremy
