Migration Oracle 9iR2 - Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, please, help

Question

Good day!
Now I study examples from tutorial book "Oracle 9iR2 Data Warehousing"
(translated to Russian) written by Lilian Hobbs, Susan Hilson, Shilpa Lawande. However my Oracle is "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" and ( as I thought ) for this reason I can't perform these examples.
Please, help me, if it no hard.
First example founded on using "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant"
and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console". However, I not found them at
"Oracle Database 10g Express Edition".
Now I use only "Oracle Application Express" ( and SQL ). Please, tell me,
if "Application Express" has enough functionality with comparision to
"Oracle Database Configuration Assistant" and "Oracle Enterprise Manager Console"
and how I need to do ? (It must, because 10 > 9)
Second example founded on using SQL. First 80% SQL-commanfs of this executed succesfully. But command "CREATE TABLE easydw.purchases" has error message
"PARTITIONing is not available." Really, in "2 Day Developer Guide"
(SQL Reserved Words ) PARTITION is not exist.
Can I CREATE TABLE easydw.purchases by "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition"
(with PARTITIONing by other means of SQL )?
There is full text of this SQL-Command:
CREATE TABLE easydw.purchases
(product_id varchar2(8)
constraint not_null_product_id NOT NULL
constraint fk_product_id
REFERENCES product(product_id),
time_key date
constraint not_null_time NOT NULL
constraint fk_time
REFERENCES time(time_key),
customer_id varchar2(10)
constraint not_null_customer_id NOT NULL
constraint fk_customer_id
REFERENCES customer(customer_id),
purchase_date date,
purchase_time number(4,0),
purchase_price number(6,2),
shipping_charge number (5,2),
today_special_offer varchar2(1)
constraint special_offer
CHECK (today_special_offer IN ('Y','N')) )
PARTITION by RANGE (time_key )
partition purchases_jan2002
values less than (TO_DATE('01-02-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
pctfree 0 pctused 99
storage (initial 64k next 16k pctincrease 0)
tablespace purchases_jan2002,
partition purchases_feb2002
values less than (TO_DATE('01-03-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
pctfree 0 pctused 99
storage (initial 64k next 16k pctincrease 0)
tablespace purchases_feb2002,
partition purchases_mar2002
values less than (TO_DATE('01-04-2002', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
pctfree 0 pctused 99
storage (initial 64k next 16k pctincrease 0)
tablespace purchasee_mar2002 );
Naturally, I also shall continue try find solution.

Winni,
Partitioning is only available with Oracle Enterprise Edition.
Here is a list of features by edition:
http://www.oracle.com/database/product_editions.html
DBCA is not needed with Express edition because you can only have one XE database per server, and all options are pre-configured.
Enterprise Manager Console is not included with XE - only with the other editions.
You can get most of the functionality through SQL, Application Express and SQL Developer.
