This chapter describes the separately licensed Oracle Database options, management packs, and other products you can purchase to enhance the capabilities of Oracle Database in specific application environments. This chapter contains the following sections:
You may not use the options, packs, or products described below without separately purchased licenses. The fact that these options, packs, or products may be included in product CDs or downloads or described in documentation that you receive does not authorize you to use them without purchasing appropriate licenses.
All the Oracle Database options can be purchased with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) is included with Oracle Database Standard Edition. You cannot purchase any options with Oracle Database Standard Edition One or Oracle Express Edition. The Personal Edition includes all options except Oracle RAC at no additional cost.
This section describes the following database options:
Oracle Active Data Guard increases performance, availability, data protection, and return on investment wherever Data Guard is used for real-time data protection and availability. An Oracle Active Data Guard standby database can be used to offload a primary database of reporting, ad-hoc queries, data extracts, and backups, making it a very effective way to insulate interactive users and critical business tasks on the production system from the overhead of long-running operations. Oracle Active Data Guard provides read-only access to a physical standby database while it is synchronized with a primary database, enabling minimal latency between reporting and production data. Unlike other replication methods, Active Data Guard is very simple to use, transparently supports all datatypes, and offers very high performance with complete read consistency at the reporting database. Oracle Active Data Guard automatically repairs physical corruption on either the primary or standby database, increasing availability and maintaining data protection at all times. Oracle Active Data Guard 12c reduces downtime for Oracle Database upgrades and other database maintenance while avoiding error-prone manual procedures. Oracle Active Data Guard 12c Far Sync enables zero data loss disaster protection (DR) across any distance without impacting database performance. Oracle Active Data Guard 12c also includes Global Data Services to extend the concepts of automated service failover and workload management to globally distributed systems, and Application Continuity to provide transparent failover of in-flight transactions in Data Guard configurations that do not use Oracle Real Application Cluster (Oracle RAC).
The Active Data Guard option contains the following features:
Active Data Guard Far Sync
Global Data Services
Real-Time Cascade
Application Continuity
Rolling Upgrade using Active Data Guard
If a physical standby database in a Data Guard configuration has any of the above features enabled, then the Active Data Guard option must be licensed for every such physical standby, and also for the primary database.

Multitenant is the capability that enables an Oracle database to function as a multitenant container database (CDB) that includes one or more pluggable databases (PDBs). A PDB is a portable collection of schemas, schema objects, and nonschema objects that appears to an Oracle client as a non-CDB. All Oracle databases before Oracle Database 12c were non-CDBs. Multitenant brings these benefits:
Very fast provisioning of a new database or of a copy of an existing database. Very fast redeployment, by unplug and plug, of an existing database to a new platform.
Patch or upgrade the Oracle Database version for many databases quickly, and for the human cost of doing it once. Patch or upgrade by unplugging a PDB and plugging it into a different CDB at a later version.
Consolidate many more PDBs onto a single platform than you can monolithic databases.
Oracle Multitenant includes the following feature:
The ability to have up to 252 PDBs per multitenant container database
The multitenant architecture with one user-created pluggable database (single tenant) is available in all editions without the Multitenant Option.
The OLAP option to Oracle Database is a full-featured OLAP server embedded in Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.

In order to use the features listed above, you must purchase licenses for Oracle Diagnostics Pack. A new initialization parameter, CONTROL_MANAGEMENT_PACK_ACCESS, controls access to Oracle Diagnostics Pack and Oracle Tuning Pack. This parameter can be set to one of three values:
DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING: Oracle Diagnostics Pack and Oracle Tuning Pack functionally is enabled in the database server.
DIAGNOSTIC: Only Oracle Diagnostics Pack functionality is enabled in the server.
NONE: Oracle Diagnostics Pack and Oracle Tuning Pack functionally is disabled in the database server.
Any and all methods of accessing Oracle Diagnostics Pack functionality, whether through Enterprise Manager Console, Desktop Widgets, command-line APIs, or direct access to the underlying data, requires an Oracle Diagnostics Pack license.
To determine which links in Enterprise Manager are part of Oracle Diagnostics Pack, click the Setup link on the top right-hand part of the Enterprise Manager Home page.
When you click the Setup link, the navigation bar contains the Management Pack Access link. Click this link.
This will take you to the Management Pack Access page, which allows you to grant and remove access from all the management packs.
For Enterprise Manager Database Control, click the Remove Access radio button for the Diagnostics Pack and click Apply.
For Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, click the appropriate check box for the Diagnostics Pack and click Apply.
This procedure disables all the links and tabs associated with Oracle Diagnostics Pack in Enterprise Manager. All the disabled links and tabs are part of Oracle Diagnostics Pack and therefore require a pack license.
Oracle Diagnostics Pack features can also be accessed by way of database server APIs and command-line interfaces:
The DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY package is part of this pack.
The DBMS_ADDM package is part of this pack.
The DBMS_ADVISOR package is part of this pack if you specify ADDM as the value of the advisor_name parameter, or if you specify for the value of the task_name parameter any value starting with the ADDM prefix.
The DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPLAY.COMPARE_PERIOD_REPORT function is part of this pack.
The V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY dynamic performance view and its underlying table, X$ASH, are part of this pack.
The DBA_STREAMS_TP_PATH_BOTTLENECK view is part of this pack.
All views beginning with DBA_ADDM_ are part of this pack.
Some data in DBA_STREAMS_TP_COMPONENT_STAT requires Oracle Diagnostics Pack. The following filter clause to any query on DBA_STREAMS_TP_COMPONENT_STAT shows Diagnostics-Pack-dependent data:
where STATISTIC_UNIT = 'PERCENT'
For example, the following query shows Diagnostics-Pack-dependent data only:
SELECT * FROM DBA_STREAMS_TP_COMPONENT_STAT where STATISTIC_UNIT = 'PERCENT';
All data dictionary views beginning with the prefix DBA_HIST_ are part of this pack, along with their underlying tables.The only exception are the views: DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT, DBA_HIST_DATABASE_INSTANCE, DBA_HIST_SNAP_ERROR, DBA_HIST_SEG_STAT, DBA_HIST_SEG_STAT_OBJ, and DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT. They can be used without the Oracle Diagnostics Pack license.
All data dictionary views with the prefix DBA_ADVISOR_ are part of this pack if queries to these views return rows with the value ADDM in the ADVISOR_NAME column or a value of ADDM* in the TASK_NAME column or the corresponding TASK_ID.
The following reports found in the /rdbms/admin/ directory of the Oracle home directory are part of this pack: awrrpt.sql, awrrpti.sql, awrgrpt.sql, awrgrpti.sql, awrgdrpt.sql, awrgdrpi.sql, addmrpt.sql, addmrpti.sql, ashrpt.sql, ashrpti.sql, awrddrpt.sql, awrddrpi.sql, awrsqrpi.sql, awrsqrpt.sql, awrextr.sql, awrload.sql, awrinfo.sql, spawrio.sql, and spawrrac.sql.

Oracle Secure Backup is a centralized tape backup management solution providing high performance, heterogeneous data protection in distributed UNIX, Linux, Windows, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) environments. Protecting file-system and Oracle Database data, Oracle Secure Backup provides a complete tape backup solution for your IT environment. In addition to tape backup, Oracle Secure Backup delivers an integrated Oracle Database backup to third-party cloud (Internet) storage, through the Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module.
Oracle Secure Backup offers the following two tape management editions, each suitable for different development and deployment scenarios:
Oracle Secure Backup is ideally suited for distributed environments consisting of multiple servers with advanced data protection requirements such as encryption, rotation of tapes between multiple locations, and protection of NAS devices.
Oracle Secure Backup Express edition provides reliable data protection for single-server Oracle Database environments. Oracle Secure Backup Express is available free with the Oracle Database and is the same core product as Oracle Secure Backup. The Express edition is limited to a single host with one direct-attached tape drive and has some restrictions on advanced feature usage. Refer to the Oracle Secure Backup Licensing Information for additional information.
The Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module provides Oracle Database backup to cloud storage using Recovery Manager (RMAN) and is independent of the Oracle Secure Backup tape management editions. The Oracle Secure Backup Cloud Module can be used as a complement or replacement for the Oracle Secure Backup tape management solution or other third-party media-management products.
