Bad:
1) Diagnostics Pack license is still required for
accessing ASH and AWR underlying views &
tables
2) Real Application Testing is a separately licensed
option, available only with EE
3) Oracle Total Recall (aka Flashback
Data Archive) is a separately licensed option, available only with
EE
4) "Automatic Plan Evolution of SQL Plan Management"
requires Diag & Tuning pack licenses
Good:
1) There is a new parameter
(control_management_pack_access) to disable the diagnostics & tuning packs
if you aren't licensed for them, hopefully these will disable their overhead as
well - not just disable access to them
2) I'm not sure about this, but it looks like the fact that
it says the Tuning Pack is required specifically
for Automatic Plan Evolution is an indication
that the Tuning Pack is not required for manual plan
evolution, so it sounds like maybe some basic functionality of SQL Plan
Management is included in the base product - just not some of the automated
functionality
