Free version of oracle database.

Hi everbody,
Can anybody tell if there is a free version of Oracle database which can be used for training purpose.
This software is required for the hands on purpose for the associates.
Moreover, it would be kind enough of you to suggest that which is the most suitable version for installing on CentOS 6.3 64 bit ?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

What is the purpose/content of the training ? For self-learning purposes, all of the database versions available at Oracle Downloads | Software | Oracle are "free". Currently, no Oracle database software is certified/supported on CentOS, although folks have managed to install it on this OS, with the assumption that they will have to troubleshoot any issues on their own. Again, for self-learning purposes, Oracle Linux is freely available at https://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=101:3

what is the config info of this oracle database?Who knows? It's your database.
you indicated that you don't know how to connect to the database. What have you used? What have you tried? Most important -- what documentation have you referenced?
Here's a hint:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10766/tdddg_connecting.htm#CEGGIIEJ
Please do more than just read the link. Take note of where it is.
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

RMAN can backup/restore diferent versions of Oracle DataBases regardless OS

Hi,
I am evaluating Recovery Manager to backup and restore Oracle databases.
I have to backup/restore diferents versions of Oracle database, these databases are running in diferents operating systems (AIX, LINUX, Windows)
For example:
Oracle DataBase 9 in AIX 5.3 system
Oracle DataBase 10 in Lunix system
Oracle DataBase 9 in Windows system
I want to have a single RMAN server in order to backup/restore all my Oracle DataBases, is it possible?
A single RMAN server can backup/restore diferent versions of Oracle DataBases regardless the operating system?
If the answer is yes, do I need to have an specif operting system in my RMAN server? (AIX, Linux, Windows, etc.)
Thanks for your help;

Hi,
Your question:
I want to have a single RMAN server in order to backup/restore all my Oracle DataBases, is it possible?
Sounds more like a machine.
If you would have asked:
I want to have a single RMAN recovery catalog in order to backup/restore all my Oracle DataBases, is it possible?
I would have confirmed as like the other two.
Be aware the catalog version needs to be equal or higher as the highest database version.

Latest version of Oracle database

Pl tell me the latest version of Oracle.

Then i let you explain to tens of thousands of Siebel
customers why Oracle uses Actuate :-)[snip]
You're more like competing with IBM , SAP and
Microsoft on these markets[ps: I'm not 'Oracle'. Don't even work for them. So it ain't "You're" ... <g>]
You totally miss the point. My apology for being obtuse. Let's try this again, a bit more straight forward.
This is a database forum. Specifically an Oracle core tech database forum.
It is not a BI forum. It is not an Actuate forum.
It is a database forum.
Maybe it's just me, but when a person asks "what is the Latest version of Oracle database", I would expect an answer related to the database version. Not an Oracle competitor or third party product.
Seems to me people interested in Actuate would normally go to places where Actuate users participate. And people who want to troll or discuss the virtues of Actuate would go to an appropriate BI forum elsewhere in the Oracle Forums.
Again, apologies for not being clear in the original response.

Which version of Oracle database is best for Windows 7 Home Premium?

Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium? Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?

EssbaseApprentice wrote:
Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium?That's easy to answer, none . No oracle database version was released for Home(Premimum) series. There are several blog posts/articles which do mention that they have installed oracle releases over Home(Premium) platforms but whether it would work or not, it would be just a lottery and help regarding troubleshooting would not be there.
Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?You mean 10g Express Edition and 10g Enterprise, Standard Editions? If yes, then there is indeed difference. The Express edition is more like a developer's playground with a good looking GUI even there to administer it. EE or SE are the production releases , meant for being used in a very busy, highly concurrent environments. There would be additional features like RAC and Dataguard that would come with EE and wont be there in the XE. So if you are learning to become a production DBA, you should right away use EE or SE IMO .

Where can I download a free version of Oracle to ODBC link to Oracle 9.20

Hi
We use a CAD system which is based around an Oracle database version Oracle 9.2. I have an access database that I need to link a table within the CAD system. The access database will be deployed around our buisness to users that do not have a full Oracle install.
I am trying to find a free download version of Oracle and the ODBC links to use on our XP PC's.
Does one exist?
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Justin,
In answer to your questions, the database server has a full installation of Oracle 9.2. We have a limited number of workstations that have a fully licensed Oracle client installation (required to use our PDM system). On these workstations we can successfully configure an ODBC connection to the Oracle database on the server and link tables in MS Access. However the majority of our PCs do not have any Oracle client installed, nor do we have any further Oracle client licenses to install with (we do have the installation media for both the server and client software).
We have attempted to use Orcale Instant Client (and ODBC addon) believing that we do not need licenses for this, at both the latest version 11.1.0.70 and at the earliest version we could find 10.1.0.5 but neither was successful in making an ODBC connection to the Oracle 9.2 database. Is this because we are using the wrong version of the Instant Client or is it just because we cannot configure it correctly? Are we correct in believing that we do not need to purchase licenses for Instant Client?
If we are way off the mark, what can you suggest?
Many thanks in advance.
Kevin (and co)

Free version of oracle for windows?

Is there a free version I can download to my home pc to practice on?

As long as it is for training or evaluation and NO development of production software, oracle doesn't charge anything to download their database software. The downside, is that you can't download any patches without a paid up metalink account. That being said, then simply go to the link below and download any version that you want.

Which version of Oracle database is certified on Windows 2008 R2 ( 64-bit)

We have a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) server.
I wanted to know which Oracle database version is 100% certified on the above OS.

Hi Sirini;
10.2.0.5 is supported - see MOS Doc 1061272.1 (Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Client (10.2.0.5) with Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)Correct;
11gR2 is also supported - see MOS Doc 867040.1 (Statement of Direction: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 – Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2)There is a setup on this link:
Oracle Database 11g Release 2
(11.2.0.1.0)
Microsoft Windows (x64) File 1, File 2 (2GB) See All
I am little bit confused for this, as you mention note and also certification matrix says 11gr2 certfied with Win2008-64 bit. But there is no specific setup like win2008-64 bit, there is only Microsoft Windows (x64) setup
By the way for 10gR2 on win 2008 64 bit platform there are 2 setups. Those are:
Oracle Database 10g Release 2
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista x64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)
So i had issue for my client and oracle worker support me to use 10.2.0.4 for my issue, not second setup. So for 11gR2 could be work for Microsoft Windows (x64) but i am not sure %100 coz never tried before.
i appreciate, If someone share their experience to make installation 11gR2 on win2008-64 bit wiht Microsoft Windows (x64) setup
All those upper setups can be found at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
I do not believe 11gR1 is currently certified with Win 2008 R2.Please check below link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
Oracle Database 11g Release 1 Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition
(11.1.0.7.0)
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit) (1.9 GB) | See All
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 (1.9 GB) | See All

Differences between different versions of Oracle Database 10 g

I have some questions about the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 that we download from Oracle web site.
1)Does the software that we download from Oracle web site is similar to Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition or Standard Edition One or to which edition? In other words, similar to which edition?
2)What are the differences between Enterprise, Standard, and Standard Edition one?
3)Are they any features included in the licensing Oracle Database that does not include in the free one that we download from Oracle web site?

The dowloaded software contains every of the four editions. You choose which edition you want during the installation process.
The differences and extra-cost options are described in this paper on OTN

Unsupported version of oracle database in ewa

hi sap experts,
When going through my ewa report, i'm getting the following issue, which is showing
"Unsupported Oracle Release"
I also notice that on the database part, the current version of Oracle is missing? We have Oracle version 10.
please help me!

Hello Jessica,
I've seen this issue many times and the way it will definately get resolved is by doing a full service definition refresh. Please follow SAP Note 727998 to do this completely. Please complete this first on your Solution Manager system and once completed, do the same on the Satellite system.
Please note that there are 3 steps in the service definition refresh & they are:
- Delete the Service Definition
- Refresh the Service Definition
- Regenerate the Service Definition
Note 727998 will outline all the steps required to have this happen.
Once you have completed this, please re-generate the EWA report in question to ensure that the problem is resolved.
Hope this helps you out!
Thanks,
Mark

Dblink between different version of oracle databases

Hi Oracle Database Gurus
Is it possible to create a database link between 10.x and 11.x oracle database.
Could somebody pinpoint a passage of oracle documentation connected with that topic.
Regards
Zibi

zibi wrote:
OK thanks, but is there a documentation where we can find some constraints ???
ZibiRemember that there is nothing "magic" or special about dblinks. When using the link, the database in which the link is defined (source) is just another client to the target of the link. It uses all of the same tns pieces, and the constraints between versions would be the same as for any other client / database connection. So all you need to reference are the standard docs on what client versions are compatible with what db versions. Nothing special for the dblink.
