Re: Practice of using chopt to disable database options

There seems to be a considerable level of contradiction in the documentation and in peoples� opinions, even some that work for Oracle� :-)

Looking at the 11gR2 installation guide, here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e47689/inst_task.htm#BJFJCB JF

If you scroll down to the section that says "Select Database Edition�, you�ll find:
�If you click Select Options, then based on your selection you can enable or disable components from the components list. This screen enables you to customize the database. The components available in this screen are:

• Oracle Partitioning
• Oracle OLAP
• Oracle Label Security
• Oracle Data Mining RDBMS Files
• Oracle Database Vault option
• Oracle Real Application Testing�

Which seems to clearly indicate that you have the option to install (or not) several different, separately licensed options.

In that same document, here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e47689/install_overview.htm #i1106622

Under the �Notes:� section, you�ll find this:

"* Ensure that you install only those products for which you have a valid license.�

So, this seems to show, pretty clearly, in 11gR2 documentation, the *opposite* of what you were asking for� :-)
