Re: Oracle License for Optional Packs Question

The advanced compression option is extremely difficult to not accidentally use. It's literally everywhere:

• Datapump export (but only if you compress the data, metadata-compression is "free")
• Data Guard redo compression (which you can conveniently enable in the broker which may lead people to think it's a broker-feature and has nothing to do with the advanced compression option inside the database)
• Securefile compression
• Table & Index compression (this one is kinda obvious)
• Flashback archives with OPTIMIZE DATA turned on
• Heat map features in 12c
• RMAN Backup compression (anything other than 'BASIC')
• Online partition move (even to basic compression - this one is really evil)
• ... and there's more: https://docs.oracle.com/database/122/DBLIC/Licensing-Information.htm#GUID-AB56CEE3-955E-4E56-8B44-6075E889C283

It's a really sneaky way of pushing this option into so many different things, and make it really easy to accidentally trigger it somewhere.
