Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: AWR Licensing
Ah, my friend Mr. Jambu. 'Bout time you stopped lurking out there! :)
Couple of comments. Firstly, there IS something stopping you from accessin= g these things - something I know you have in abundance. Those things are = called honesty and integrity. ;)
And of course they are followed up by the license police. It's the usual O= racle policy. There is nothing in your license (if I understand it correct= ly, anyway) that stops you from using ANY functionality in a non-Production= environment. Even the downloads off OTN are fully functioning, not term l= imited and so on. But once you use that stuff in Production, if it's a sep= arately licensable option we expect your money, your wife, and your daughte=r (OK, it's really just the money we want).
And I would suggest this to everyone - particularly Darrell who I think rai= sed this point. Try the packs out. I think you'll find there is an ENORMO= US amount more in this stuff than 10046 and the Hotsos Profiler (not that I=mean to disparage the profiler, since Cary would kill me if I did!)

Hi Kirti
There is nothing stopping anyone from accessing the =
views and functions. =
Be aware that these option packs are not offered with the Standard Edition = or Standard Edition One RDBMS.
So you think that you are doing the right thing by not using these products= and will not require these optional packs right? In reality, you may be u= sing them without knowing it. =
The underlying objects, programs and views are created by default in 10g. = If you access any of the following views: =
7 The V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY dynamic performance view =
7 All data dictionary views beginning with the prefix DBA_HIST_* alon=
g with their underlying tables.
and others mentioned in the link above, you are required to purchase the op=
tional EM packs. =
Basically big brother is auditing _all_ the features you are accessing!
