Oracle Database Tools, Features & Options
Typically, although not always, Options (and Packs) must be separately licensed, whereas Features come with the product and are enabled based on the product that is running (for example, Enterprise Edition).
Check Usage
SET PAGESIZE 200
SET LINESIZE 200
SELECT i.instance_name,
u.name AS feature_name,
u.last_usage_date
FROM dba_feature_usage_statistics u,
v$instance i
WHERE detected_usages > 0
ORDER BY 1;
For more detailed analysis use the script provided in Oracle Support Note: 1317265.1
By default DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS is updated about once per week (1). You can force a refresh using...
EXEC DBMS_FEATURE_USAGE_INTERNAL.exec_db_usage_sampling(SYSDATE);
Check Component Status
SET linesize 200
SET pagesize 40
COLUMN schema FORMAT a20
COLUMN comp_id FORMAT a15
COLUMN comp_name FORMAT a40
SELECT comp_id, comp_name, version, status, schema
FROM dba_registry;
