Current Oracle XE download version "new"?

I have been happily using Oracle XE for development on Windows since Dec-2005; it reports its Database Version as:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Beta
Looking at Oracle downloads, I see that what is available is labeled as:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1)
Express Edition for Microsoft Windows
My question: is the version available for download now newer than what I have? The version numbers appear to be the same. But the size of the download file is larger than the original file I downloaded.
If it is new, how can I get a sense of changes, so I can judge whether updating what I am using for development is appropriate?
If I should update ... ah ... how does one go about updating Oracle XE?
Thanks,
Emby

Looks like you are using a beta version, so of course you should go up to a regular release. You wouldn't want to release something that was developed with beta software, right?
I dont think there's an upgrade path from beta to RTM version. You need to install anew.

  • Is Oracle free download version restricted?

    I know Oracle allow us free download.
    But i also know Oracle for Enterprise version is expensive.
    Then , is any difference between Enterprise Release version and Free Download version?
    Is free downloaded restricted?

    The only difference is the license. If you want to develop your application, you can download all the software you need. If you want to deploy it, however, you'll need to buy the appropriate licenses.

  • Oracle D2k Downloads - Version 6i

    Hi,
    In our office one of our pc was worn out and d2k source
    files in the server were not able to open in another system for that
    we need to install the below D2k6i Version of Report;
    Report Builder 6.0.8.24.0
    if we try to open the file it shows the below error
    +"Warning: Opening a report saved with a newer version of Report Builder.+
    +Functionality may be lost. Continue? "+
    Currently we are using *"Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3"*
    is it possible to download the previous versions?
    Pls Help...
    Stanleel...

    You should not be getting a "saved with a newer version" error if the original was last saved within the same major version. So, opening in 6.0.8.11 should be possible if the file was last saved in 6.0.8.24. It sounds more like the file was saved in a newer version (9 or 10 or 11). In this case, you would not be able to work with it in 6 any longer.
    You asked for an "older" version. What you need is a "newer" version. The latest version is 11.1.2. Only versions 11.1.1.x and 11.1.2 are entitled to Error Correction Support. Older versions have been desupported.
    Newer versions are available from here:
    For version 10 of Developer Suite and 11.1.2 of FusionMiddleware (includes Forms/Reports):
    <li>http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
    For version 11.1.1.x:
    <li>http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html
    If however, what you are seeing is just a warning and not a failure to open the file, you may need to simply apply the latest (last) patch for 6.0.8, which is only available through MyOracleSupport on the "Patches" tab or by contacting Oracle Support.

  • When i open itunes it gives me the option to download the new version 10.3. my computer will not support 10.3. i can't by pass the download to continue with my current version of itunes. i've trashed and reinstalled 8.2.1 twice. any solutions?

    I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

    ITunes worked fine on my Windows 7 machine.  Had to rebuild the machine but all the data remains.  Downloaded a new version of iTunes and cannot figure out how to load all of my music currently on my hard drive.  Tried moving "iTunes Library" file.  Did not work.  Never had trouble like this before.

    Many thanks for your post. I've been trying for days to get this sorted and was getting well fed up with I-Tunes. Really thought i'd never get it working again. Tried un-installing it, loading older versions and they still wouldn't work.
    Came across your suggestion by chance and top man - it worked..!!!!
    How you even knew what to do is beyond me - but thanks so much. I really was pulling my hair out.
    You need to put your post over the Web as there seem to be loads of people having the same trouble.
    Thanks again.

  • I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

  • After I download the new version of firefox, it flashes that it cannot finish because I do not have privilages to certain things in the new version. Can you explain this?

    I get all through the downloading process and move it to my applications. It then ask me if I want to replace the old version with the new one. When I click on replace, a new window comes up with the fact that my computer does have privileges for some of the operations so I cannot complete the process. What really gets me though, is that it still pops up saying I need to download the new version. I do not know what to do.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    Rp

    1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
    2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
    Thanks,
    Rp.
    Hi,
    As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
    Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
    And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)
