Can Oracle Express Edition be used for Internet Web Projects?

Hi,
If we have a simple WWW application accessible from internet via WEB server and Web server uses Oracle Express Edition as a "data storage", can Oracle XE be used without violating license (XE limitations)?
Thank you!

Don't see why not, although a quote from the Oracle Technology Network Developer License Terms for Oracle Database 11g Express Edition page at the License Rights section, "developing, prototyping and running your applications for your own internal data processing operation..." so that might be leaning into a bit of a grey area. A bit.
But with something available on the web you'll want to be sure to stay up to date with security patches- and unfortunately XE can not be patched. Just because something can be done, and even works for its intended purpose, doesn't necessarily mean that it is a "good thing to do".
Nothing wrong with trying something out for learning and figuring out how things work- apex is a nifty development platform, although I've not kept up with the details of the last couple of versions. Too many other things on the "got to learn this, got to do that" list(s).

Can I use Oracle Express Edition for Educational purposes?

Dears,
I have an Information Technology school and I'm wondering if I can use Oracle Express Edition for Educational purposes. Do I need any special licenses for this?
I noticed the following statement on Oracle 11g Express download (Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2) but would like to confirm if I have any restrictions about that.

How can I start using Oracle Express Edition

Good afternoon, how can I start using Oracle Express Edition? I have it installed it but I can not enter any user or key that allows me to manage the program from the Internet. I have understood that this version is free.
Correct me I'm wrong and please do noted me. In my country this course very expensive and I'm looking to learn on my own.

Hi
During installation wizard asked you about password for SYS and SYSTEM user, you had to set it. If you forgot you can loggin to ORACLE via SQL plus without password:
c:\>SQLPLUS / sys as sysdba
after connect you can set new password for any user, for example (SYSTEM user):
ALTER USER SYSTEM identified by NEW_PASSWORD;
After this you can login to APEX (Internet enviroment)
Remember Oracle it's not only Internet frontend, it's huge tools with many functions. If you need study Oracle you need many time and zest but it is worth-while.
Yes Oracle XE is free (read licence agreement).

Using OBIEE with Oracle Express Edition Database? SOLVED

I have a client that wants a quick demo of OBIEE. They sent us some csv files as the data source. I migrated them to Excel files for easier use, but the Excel files seem to have limitations on how I can combine the columns, such as concatenating and formatting.
I then loaded them into an Oracle Express Edition database, assuming more "database" functionality would be available to me. I was able to load them into the Administration Tool, but Answers gives me the following error when I try to view any results from the Express database:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details

Thanks for any help. This is my first non-guided attempt using OBIEE.

Thanks. I got some assistance from a co-worker that is also using Express Edition. (This is also my first use of Express Edition.)
Here is the tnsnames entry that I created, in case it helps someone else:
DEMO_XE =

Can i install oracle express edition in VMware cloud

Can i install oracle express edition in VMware cloud
VMware are saying you need licence for using oracle in cloud
but they are showing pricing for Enterprise edition
and i am clueless

I've moved your question over to the Cloud Computing > Oracle Database Cloud Service space it I think it's likely the best place for it. Certainly the community feedback and suggestions forum (not for product related questions) was NOT the correct place, as that forum is NOT for product related questions, as it states in it's forum space title.

Any time limitations(expire day) for the Oracle Express Edition?

Any time limitations(expire day) for the Oracle Express Edition?

If what you meant is like " Is the Oracle Express Edition software has any expiry date if you download it free " , The answer is no .. coz as you should be using the same for learning purpose ... there is no need for a license and you can use the software as much as you can with its full functionality .

Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? Difference between Enterprise and SE?

We’re seeing the following issue: sql - Can Oracle be forced to use the spatial index for sdo_filter in combination with an or clause? - Stack Overflow (posted by a colleague of mine) and are curious to know if this behaviour is due to a difference between standard and enterprise, or could we doing something else wrong in our DB config.?
We have also reproduced the issue on the following stacks:
Oracle SE One 11.2.0.3 (with Spatial enabled)
Redhat Linux 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 20:59:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
11.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition and 11.2.0.4.0 Standard Edition (both with Spatial enabled)
Microsoft Windows Server 2003R2 Standard x64 Edition
However, the SQL works fine if we try it on Oracle 11.2.0.3.0 *Enterprise* Edition.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Kindest Regards,
Kevin

In my experience sdo_filter ALWAYS uses the spatial index, so that's not the problem. Since you did not provide the explain plans, we can't say for sure but I think yhu is right: Standard Edition can't use the bitmap operations, and thus it'll take longer to combine the results of the two queries (because the optimizer will surely split this OR up in two parts, then combine them).
BTW: when asking questions about queries here, it would be nice if you posted the queries here as well, so that we do not have to check another website in order to see what you are doing. Plus it will probably get you more answers, because not everyone can be bothered to click on that link. It would also have been nice if you had posted your own answer on the other post here as well, because my recommendation would have been to use union all - but since you already found that out for yourself my recommendation would have been a little late.

Will there ever be an Oracle Express Edition for Mac OSX

I am curious if Oracle Express Edition will ever be ported for developers who use Mac computers?

This is about the same question as the famous question 'How many divisions has the Pope', asked by Stalin.
This is mainly an issue of marketshare.
I don't think Oracle will be very much interested in porting OracleXE to Mac OSX.
But I might be wrong.

Pro/C missing in Oracle Express Edition 10g2 for Linux ?

Hi all.
After installing Oracle Express Edition 10g2 i miss the Pro/C component, no proc-executable can be found in the software tree.
Then i additionally installed the adjacent client without getting the necessary executable.
Thank you in advance

Its not in there ... try an 11g instant client, the SDK version should have what you're after (x86 version) at:

(x86-64) at:

Note also that the license agreement is a bit different ...

Connect Toad freeware with Oracle express Edition, How?

Hello,
Although I know that people will raise the question this is Oracle and use SQL developer... Ok I do that and that is working fine. But on my work they work with TOAD so I like to work with TOAD as well and I want get some knowledge about Toad, TNSNAMES etc.
I've put the issue on TOAD forum as well, but till now I don't have received an answer.
I want to teach/learn myself Oracle by working with the Oracle express edition. I have downloaded the SQL Developer and I can work with it, which means I can create a connection.
Errors when I try to work with TOAD are:
If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"
If I click on TNSNames editor:
- Access violation in address xxxxxxx at module TOAD.exe"
I have installed oracle at D:\ORACLE_HOME. In this directory is also a TNSNAMES.ORA file.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 Home
- Oracle 32 bit client:
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- "CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
- TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.
*Questions:*
*- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?*
*- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?*
*- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?*

If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"Listen to that message. A 64-bit program requires 64-bit libraries.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 HomeHome editions are not supported, sorry.
- Oracle 32 bit client:What is it - Client or Server?
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production>
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.Perhaps easiest way out is to remove 64-bit Toad and install the 32-bit one instead.

Questions:
- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?
- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?
- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?
All these should be directed elsewhere, e.g. at some Toad forum, maybe at toadworld.com.

Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

Hello,
I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
Thank you for help.

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

ORACLE EXPRESS EDITION ON WINDOWS VISTA NOT WORKING

I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND I TRIED TO INSTALL ORACLE EXPRESS EDITION.WHEN I GO TO THE DATABASE HOME PAGE IT GOES TO THE FOLLOWING URL
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
AND IN INTERNET EXPLORER I GET THE FOLLOWING ERROR
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems
ALSO I WAS READING THE
"APEX" INSTALLATION HELP AT THE FOLLOWING URL
http://www.apex-blog.com/oracle-apex/installing-apex-tutorial-23.html
I AM NOT SURE IT WILL HELP ME OR NOT.I JUST NEED THE ORACLE DB WORKING AT MY SYSTEM SO THAT I CAN HAVE A LITTLE DATABASE WORKING LOCALLY.
SO ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WILL BE APPRECIATED.THANKS

To check if u installed correctly, in cmd prompt type tnsping xe. If installed correctly it shud say OK(30) else it will show an error. Now if it says OK, in cmd prompt type sqlplus and connect using system/pwd_u_provided_durin_installation, it shud connect.
Some steps to follow before installing XE
Before Installing Oracle,make sure to disable all the network adapters and ping in cmd prompt localhost and ur machine name, both shud refer to 127.0.0.1. Once oracle is installed,try to connect in ur web explorer and once connected,enable the network adapters. There shudnt be any firewall prob.,if it does add port 8080 as an exception to ur firewall list.

Oracle express edition and JDBC licensing question

Hi all,
I am writing a web application that requires a database to work. I also will be selling this application. which leads me to these questions:
1) legally can i use the oracle express edition?
2) legally can i use the oracle JDBC driver?
Thanks,

Based on the discussions in the XE forum (confirmed by Oracle representatives in official capacity) as well as the license agreement (which you should take to your lawyer tp etermine how to set up the paperwork for your application):
You can include the Oracle Express Edition in your application. You can charge for your application and give no money back to Oracle for the use of Oracle Express Edition. You can distribute the client-side JDBC that is included in XE as well.
But - you can not hold Oracle responsible for the operation of the database, nor ask them for support or patches.
As Eric says - join us over in the XE forum for more discussion of this.
