I am looking at the 12c new features course to see how much is about cost options which we don't have. It is of interest to see what is available of course, but I do find my mind wandering when being taught in detail about things I know I won't be able to use. We have enterprise edition with diagnostic and tuning packs.

It looks like of the 17 topics, 9 are included in enterprise edition, and another 2 included in the diagnostic pack, meaning that if equal time is spent on each topic (Unlikely) about 1/3 of the time will be spent on options I can't use (Or more, because there are two topics which are partially about cost options.

Has anyone done the course? How valuable was it? Here is my attempt to match up the advertised course topics with the licensing information for enterprise edition. Let me know if I have made a mistake!

  Online Data-file Move     (Included)
  Unified Auditing          (Included)
  Administrative privileges (New backup database role? Included)

  Heat Map                    (Requires advanced compression)

  Automatic Data Optimization (Requires advanced compression)
