The four options you are concerned with, can't be disabled. It would be
simple for Oracle to implement a mechanisms to do so, but I suppose all the
accidental violations that netted them money, outweigh the benefit of doing
so.



Particularly advanced security or advanced compression are tricky because
they can be used outside of the database as well (think Data Guard Redo
Compression or RMAN backup compression, for example).



What I have seen some people do is run a job in the database that scans for
objects that would violate their allowed functionality, and produce an
alert when something was found. My framework, zztat, can also run checks
like this.



If you have already found something inside the database that uses such
functionality, the only way out is, as you have stated, a full export /
import.
