No. Partitioning is an extra cost option in Enterprise Edition.

Are there any alternatives for that..?

How should we import the tables created with partition in enterprise edition into a standard edition...???
Satish Kandi
Assuming your source and target oracle versions are the same, try pre-creating the table on target database as regular table and import with ignore=y.
