Watch out! I just got off the phone with our Oracle "sales rep". He
was asking me if I needed information on Partitioning or OLAP for our
data warehouse project. I told him that we are on 8.1.7, so the OLAP
option isn't available. To keep him from going into a long speil on
Partitioning, I told him that I have already implemented that, which
is
true.
He jumped on that and told me that we aren't licensed for it. He
followed up with sending me a quote for $23,800 to cover the fact that
we are using the option, which we didn't pay for. I was always told
that we have a "site" license (higher ed), and he said that our
license
was purchased prior to Partioning being available, so that doesn't
count.
I'm telling everyone about this as a heads-up. It appears that Oracle
is digging for money, and I feel that the approach that was used was
done to trick me into admitting that I had implemented the feature.
