Oracle 19c SE2, Licensing, Flashback

user545194Oct 3 2025

Env. 19c SE2

We have set up “Flashback Time Travel” in our database and noticed that the SYS_FBA_HIST_161184 tables werde created as partitioned tables. Partitioning is, or course, deactivated, since this would be a license violation.

Stated in a blog.

Yes, Flashback Time Travel is licensed with Oracle Database Standard Edition 19c (SE2) as it is included with the SE and SE2 editions, not just Enterprise Edition.

select * from sys.DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS 
where detected_usages > 0;

shows: Partitioning (user) TRUE

Can we continue to use Flashback?
