Downloading Oracle Database Express Edition

Hi everyone. I just downloaded the freeware Oracle Database Express Edition without any apparent problems. However, when I attempt to go to the Express Edition Homepage, which is location http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex,
I get the message that my Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. (It can, however, display other pages.) I cannot understand why this is the case since I successfully added Web site 127.0.0.1 in my Control Panel (as specified in the instructions.) Also, the instructions stated that HTTP port 8080 was the default port, unless my system said that this was not available (which it did not.) I also tried rebooting, which did not make a difference. Help!
Thanks,
Jason

Downloading Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hello.
I'm trying to access the webpage from oracle 10g express edition but the site return me this page isn't available anymore, i need to download this specific version, how am i supposed to go along with that?
ps: if its not the right forum, please move it.

Hi
user599923, I recommend download Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2.
Lik: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/express-edition/downloads/index.html
TIPS
when you install the database to make sure the account that has administrator privileges install.
Why
Sometimes the installer glitches. Sometimes its because the user running the install isn't a local admin.
If there are no data files under the XE folder, that is a symptom of an installer glitch.
See the Local Users and Groups applet, Start/Run lusrmgr.msc open the Groups folder, right click/Properties on Administrators. If you're logged into the host with a domain account, be sure your <domain>\loginname is in that local admins group.

Help!There is a forum dedicated to Express Edition, in which we have discussed a lot of the variants in failure that causes this problem. At the top of the page you are reading, there should be links like "Forum Home » Database » Database - General". The middle one will get you to a list of all Oracle forums and after the first 5, the rest are alphabetical - XE is pretty far down that page.
(You might also note that there is an Installation forum next to this one. That might be better suited to the task than the 'catch-all' general forum.)
The most common issues are related to not preparing the operating system properly. For example, if you use a laptop you probably use DHCP to get a different address from the various sites you connect to. However, Oracle works as a server and depends on having a well known address. In fact, it tends to bind the IP address at install into it's configuration files. Therefore it is critical to use the loopback adapter in such situations.
Other issues are dependent on the actual OS into which you install. For example, Ubuntu (Linux) has very differnet install philosophy as Red Hat / Fedora, and requires a different install technique. Then again, on Windows, it is nearly impossible to install anything Oracle on a Windows 'Home' OS, and XE generally has not even been tested against Windows 7.
Other common reasons include anti-virus; firewall; not having appropriate operating system level permissions; in Windows - using a Domain-based userid instead of a local administrator; and just general finger issues.
Express is considerably different in the install behaviour and runtime behaviour. For example. it uses RPM and MSI instead of Oracle Universal Installer. It does not include Java in the database, which limits a lot of functionality. And it uses the built-in PL/SQL Web Gateway instead of any external HTTP server. As a result, it can be quite a shock to mmany of the regular inhabitants in this forum.
I strongly encourage reading the documentation for XE. In particular, reading the install doc. Start at http://tahiti.oracle.com and look for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition documentation. (Just below the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 documentation.)

Oracle Database Express Edition 10g; Designer, PL/SQL; Download

Hi,
I am new to this forum, I hope that I am posting in the right one :)
I am refreshing my SQL knowledge an installed the "Oracle Database Express Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2)" which works fine. I now would like to learn PL/SQL and Oracle Designer.
Are these 2 also offered as a free download for personal use? Since the Oracle website is pretty complex I am not sure what I should download.
Can I run these programs on one WinXP Home machine?
Thanks for your help!

Designer is not free like Express Edition. You cannot use it for any commericial purpose without a licence.
Designer is a big tool. I don't know why it shouldn't run against XE but it is a tough blighter to configure and install. It is also a moribund product, so the answer to this question:
Is there a newer Designer version available?is likely to be "No" whenever you ask it.
Cheers, APC

Hi all,
I did download the Oracle Database Express Edition from Oracle's website and am trying to create a new connection with the following info
Connection Name: myconnection
Username: ora21
Password: ora21
Hostname: localhost
Port: 1521
SID: orcl
Note: I even tried to use xe as the SID since it's a express edition but it keeps telling me test failed: ORA-01017: invalid/password; logon denied.
Could it be because it's an Express edition? Please advice as am a new DBA and am practising on my own

@Jim: thanks for the reply! I just created the user ora21 but when I try to creat the connection again it gives error ORA 01045 : user ORA21 lacks create session privilege; logon denied.

Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
The two exams I will be taking are the :
1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams. I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144. I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however. The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle). You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only). I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise. Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements. I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

Does Oracle Database Express Edition 11g support CLOB datatype?

I am having problems in displaying CLOB data type columns when I query my tables in Oracle Database Express Edition 11g. I am getting garbage values. However when I do the exact same thing in the Enterprise Edition I do not have any problems. So I am thinking that the Express Edition does not support CLOB data types due to its size limitations. Am I missing something here?

Hi, and welcome to the OTN forums!
I download a year ago oracle 10g and installed in windows7/64bit.
Now 11g is available. But it says does not work in x64.Well, in fact, 10.2 XE wasn't certified for x64 either, not even for Linux x64...
11.2 XE has a Linux x86_64 release, and there has been an announcement that there'll be a x64 release for Windows as well, but it's not available (yet).
There have been a lot of reports that people got 11.2 XE work on x64 Windows machines as well, with a few tweaks at installation time and/or afterwards...
You'll find tons of posts on that topic when using forum search...
oracle 10g seems to be not available anymore.Right, the official downloads have been removed after all database 10.2 releases fell out of (regular) support.

Oracle Database Express Edition - install on WIndows XP laptop

I downloaded the Oracle Database Express Edition to my Lenovo T61 laptop - Windows XP professional, execute the setup.exe and load the software fine. When I press the Finish button on the final dialog, the Oracle Database 11G Express Edition Install Wizard is highlighted in the task bar, as if it is awaiting a response from a prompt. The Oracle Database 11G Express Edition option appears in the Start|Programs with the following sub-options: Backup Database, Restore Database, Start Database, Stop Database, Get Help, Get Started, and Run SQL Command Line.
The Get Started option doesn't seen to do anything. This is the third time I've re-run the setup program, as i thought perhaps the Ad-Aware spyware program was blocking the Finish process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your help.
James

Hello James,
Windows XP professionalI assume you use the 32bit version?
Are you logged in with administrative privileges?
When I press the Finish button on the final dialog, the Oracle Database 11G Express Edition Install Wizard is highlighted in the task bar, as if it is awaiting a response from a prompt.Seems as if it's hanging at that point. Could you check whether the Oracle Services the installer created are up and running? Taking you other comments on "Get Started" into account, I wouldn't think so.
In that case, you should start digging for errors in the log files created during your installation.

Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Database; Tables bigger than 11 GB

Dear all,
is it possible to make a part of big Tables (14 GB) visible in Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Database?
If yes, it would be nice to get the correct development.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Peter

or maybe there is another software which can import only specified number of rows/bytes? Then you would need to export according to "another software" rules/format as well.
As the table is not that big, one could copy the table, delete selected rows large enough, and export from that table copy instead.
If it's not possible, could you please be so kind and provide the full test-version of Oracle database without 11GB limitation?Oracle provides, under the OTN downloads license, SE and EE editions. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html

Can somebody that knows this, or has installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu, to please explain it to me what does it mean and why am I getting those errors. Please explain thoroughly as if I am an amateur person, IN DETAIL, STEP-BY-STEP. I want to run it and make it work! I heard that it encourages people to answer for points. I am open for your suggestions and experiences, as long as it's not 'use common sense', 'you're dumb', or an answer that is vaguely explained. Thank you for those that take the time to read it.

Using Oracle Database Express Edition in development environment

Hi All,
I have doubt regarding the usage Oracle Database Express Edition in Development environment. I am not sure weather I can ask a non technical question here or not. Pleas forgive me if I have done any thing wrong.
I am working in an IT company where we take up projects outsourced by our clients. As part of our current project we are making some modification to a web application used by an institution. Our client is using Oracle Data Base standard edition. Due to budgetary constraints of our Company we can not set up a Oracle standard edition data base in our development environment.
So would it be illegal if we use Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment? We can guarantee that only our internal development team which comprise a maximum of 10 people will have access to this development database and this development data base will never be opened to our Client for their business purpose(Who have their own Oracle standard edition in their environment). As part of the project we delver only table DDL script and stored procedure to our client and they put it in their environment.The sole purpose of a internal Express database will be development only.
Could some one please tell me if it would be violation of license agreement if we install Oracle Database Express Edition in our development environment.

Hi Paul,
Actually I have already gone through the Oracle Technology Network Developer License Terms for Oracle Database 11g Express Edition . But was not quiet clear about the content. It says in the license terms that "We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs for: (a) purposes of developing, prototyping and running your applications for your own internal data processing operations". Does the term "your application" includes an application we are developing for another company. Since the Express database is installed in the development environment only and is not opened to any one else not even for Our client it definitely falls under the term "internal data processing operations" right?

Upgrade oracle database express edition

good morning
i've a question i'm working with oracle database express edition but now the memory is full and i want to upgrade it to oracle enterprise edition but i don't know the steps please can you help me in this
best regards

I've a question i'm working with oracle database express edition but now the memory is full and i want to upgrade it to oracle enterprise edition Hi,
Not to dissuade you from that, but that's quite a leap from XE to EE, are you sure that SE One or SE would not be a 'better option' for you?
Also, by 'memory is full', I assume you mean you've reached the 4Gb data limit?
