Diagnostic pack

Question

hi guys,
need some clearification.
to use dbms_space‘s unused_space, space_usage and free_space , do i need to purcahse a license?
I am afraid there are other procedure in the package are linked to the AWR licensing. ( segment/ space advisor ) -> diagnostic pack.
Abit confuse about it cause read that, if your db version is NOT SE version you are free to use?

Answer 1

It doesn't require an additional license. You can check that yourself easy with the new parameter control_management_pack_access
SQL> alter system set control_management_pack_access=none;
SQL > variable unf number;
variable unfb number;
variable fs1 number;
variable fs1b number;
variable fs2 number;
variable fs2b number;
variable fs3 number;
variable fs3b number;
variable fs4 number;
variable fs4b number;
variable full number;
variable fullb number;
begin
dbms_space.space_usage('ADAM','SALES',
                        'TABLE',
                        :unf, :unfb,
                        :fs1, :fs1b,
                        :fs2, :fs2b,
                        :fs3, :fs3b,
                        :fs4, :fs4b,
                        :full, :fullb);
end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.But the dbms_sqltune package is not free:
SQL >  declare
tempstring  varchar2(300);
task_id   varchar2(200);
begin
tempstring := 'select count(*) from adam.sales';
   task_id := dbms_sqltune.create_tuning_task(sql_text => tempstring, task_name=>'SQLPROFIL1');
   dbms_sqltune.execute_tuning_task('SQLPROFIL1');
end;
declare
