That's a good, point. Oracle has a clear document of which tables and views are taboo. Anything "HIST" and a few more are on the list. When researching products such as these, that's always the first question I ask for clarification on. The reason I'm looking at their product is because it's priced better than OEM. But that's only true if it doesn't cause me to license diagnostic and tuning packs due to background hits. At that point there is negative incentive to use their product. --Rodd

querying tables/views behind the scenes that will end up biting you in an

are several views/tables in the database that can be queried without any
special permission - but they require licensing. I would hate to use a
"free" product to only find out it is hitting tables inside the database
that will cost you in the event you are audited.
