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 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 Real Application Clusters at no additional cost.
Oracle Advanced Security provides transparent data encryption of data stored in the database, the encryption of disk-based backups of the database, and also network encryption for data traveling across the network between the database and client or mid-tier applications. In addition it provides a complete suite of strong authentication services to Oracle Database. Network encryption is implemented using industry-standard data encryption and data integrity algorithms. This feature provides a choice of algorithms and cipher strengths for deployment. Strong authentication services support a comprehensive suite of industry-standard third-party authentication options. The authentication options include single sign-on services to the Oracle Database by interoperating with existing authentication frameworks and two-factor authentication choices such as smart cards and token cards.
If you wish to use Enterprise User Security in Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, you no longer need to license the Oracle Advanced Security Option for password-based authentication. However, you must license Oracle Internet Directory (OID). If you wish to use stronger authentication alternatives (such as Kerberos or PKI) for Enterprise User Security, you must license Oracle Advanced Security and the Oracle Internet Directory (OID). Any Oracle Advanced Security licenses purchased on or before January 31, 2004, have restricted use of the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to support enterprise user security.

Oracle In-Memory Database Cache enables you to improve application transaction response time by caching a performance-critical subset of tables and table fragments from an Oracle database to the application tier. The table fragments are described through an extended SQL syntax and are cached into Oracle In-Memory Database Cache tables. Cache tables can be specified as read-only or updatable. Applications read and update the cache tables using standard SQL. Cache table hierarchy for related tables with foreign key constraints is maintained for data consistency. Automatic data synchronization between the cache and the Oracle database is provided.
Cache tables are managed like regular relational database tables within the TimesTen In-Memory Database. Thus, Oracle In-Memory Database Cache offers applications the full generality and functionality of a relational database, the transparent maintenance of cache consistency with the Oracle Database, and the real-time performance of an in-memory database. This Database option is ideal for caching performance-critical subsets of an Oracle database for improved response time in the application tier.

Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) is a database computing environment that harnesses the processing power of multiple interconnected computers using clustering technology. RAC provides unlimited scalability and high availability for all applications. RAC makes the database highly available in the presence of computer hardware or software failure: in the event any computer in the cluster fails, the database continues to provide service on the surviving computers in the cluster. RAC provides scalable performance: as demand for database throughput grows, additional computers can be added to the database cluster with no downtime. RAC supports a single-system image for ease of management. RAC also provides a complete and integrated stack of clustering software on all platforms; third-party clusterware software is not required. Finally, RAC provides cluster file system capability on the Windows and Linux platforms.
