Max connections in Oracle 10g Express

Question

Hi,
How much connections are possible in Oracle 10g Express ?

Answer 1

I do the following test:
I format the test PC, install the O.S. and install Oracle 10g Express and run the following code:
package testedb;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class TesteDB {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          List<Connection> connections = new ArrayList<Connection>();
          try
     Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     while(true)
          connections.add(DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@albatroz:1521:XE", "system", "xxx"));
          //connections.add(DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@albatroz:1521:MYDB", "system", "xxx"));
          System.out.println("connections: "+connections.size());
     catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
     System.out.println ("Could not load the driver");
     e.printStackTrace ();
     } catch (SQLException e) {
          System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------");
               System.out.println("Qtd of connections: "+connections.size());
               System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------");
               e.printStackTrace();
After the first test I format again the PC, install the O.S. and install Oracle 10g Standard and run the same code, changing only the database name.
Well, I get the following results:
- Oracle 10g Express: I get 19 connections;
- Oracle 10g Standard: I get 181 connection;
Final report:
With the same hardware (1GB RAM) and O.S. (Windows XP Professional) test, the Oracle 10g Express has any restrictions at the question max connections.
