Oracle 10g Express Edition for DBA practice

Hi,
I want to download the Oracle Express Edition 10g for my database administration which I want to practice at home.I have a windows vista x64 with me which i recently purchased.i am getting a little confused about the edition available in the Oracle -->Downloads site.Is the express edition which is available only for development or can I use it for my database admin purpose too.
Since am new to this field ,I will be grateful if I can get some pointers to what edition of Oracle 10g should i download and from where.I am a DBA and need some practice at home.
Thanks in Advance,
Somdatta

Supported Windows Versions
One of the following 32-bit Windows operating systems:
* Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later
* Windows Server 2003
* Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 or later
Oracle Database 10g XE is not certified for windows vista 64-bit.
Although you can see only a few Windows versions supported, you can still try and run DB XE on other versions as well as far as you don't look up to Oracle to resolve your issues. But Oracle Database 10g XE can not be installed on 64-bit windows, thats for sure.
So, if you are done with choosing your platform, you are left with only one option i.e HYPERVISORS.
So you'll have to first use any HYPERVISOR and create a Virtual Machine and then install a Guest 32-bit windows ( or Linux if you prefer) and then run Oracle DB on it.
One of the most famous vendors in business for the purpose is VMWare. But there are other options available as well including open source/free.
For downloading the software you can get to the following link and download Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)

  • Oracle 10g Express Edition for OCP 10g Upgrade Certification

    Hi
    Can I use Oracle 10g Express edition to prepare for Oracle 10g Release 2 new features exam.
    Thanks,
    James

    For exam/certification disscussions, I suggest the [Certification forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=459].
    By preparation I assume you refer to the topics of the [1Z0-040 exam|http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&p_exam_id=1Z0_040#3].
    For "strictly self-educational purposes", take a look at the OTN downloads license and consider using EE (or PE perhaps) install, supposed you need full features for the managebility stuff, tuning advisors, partitioning, RMAN functionality, etc.

  • Download Oracle 10g express edition for window

    I want to download Oracle 10g Express Edition, but it seems that this version is replaced by 11g Express version.
    Is there any place which I can download 10g Express Edition?
    Thank.

    I think Oracle Corp. has removed 10g XE download because Oracle Corp. is pushing more for 11g now (10g XE was never officially supported but 10.1 and 10.2 Standard/Entreprise Edition are already in extended support mode: 10.2 will be in sustained support mode in July 2013).

  • Oracle 10g Express Edition presentation

    Hi everybody,
    I'm an Italian university student and I have to make a presentation about Oracle 10g Express Edition for an exam. The points of this presentation will be:
    - Portability
    - Compatibility with SQL92 standard
    - Interfaces
    - Installation and hardware resources
    - Costs and license
    - Security
    - Performance
    I'm very new in the Oracle world, can anyone help me or suggest sites where I can retrieve the information I need.
    Thanks

    Si offende qualcuno o semplicemente capisce meno gente? Penso più la seconda, ma mi sembra più "educato" usare l'inglese, in modo che tutti capiscano.
    Translation :
    I think it would be more correct using English, so that everyone can understand.

  • Installing and Running Oracle 10g Express Edition on Microsoft Vista

    My computer is running on Microsoft Vista.
    I downloaded Oracle 10g Express Edition for Vista.
    I ran the setup.exe. Everything went well there.
    But, when I open the SQLPlus program, a window prompts me to enter my username, password and host string.
    Can someone please tell me what it is expecting for these fields? I am using the same username and password I used to create my Oracle account.
    But what is the host string?
    Appreciate it.
    Thanks.

  • Regarding Oracle 10g Express Edition

    Dear Friends,
    I'm very beginner to Oracle database. I worked in SQL Server.
    Here I have downloaded and intalled Oracle 10g Express Edition for development.
    1. How do I create database in Oracle 10g Express Edition?
    2. How do I attach an existing database?
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sathish

    Hi,
    ORACLE is different from SQL Server. Forget about SQL Server for a while.
    1. How do I create database in Oracle 10g Express Edition?Refer to :http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/DBXETutorial/index.htm
    2. How do I attach an existing database?As you perform in Sql Server, it won't work in oracle. It's different. I request to understand oracle architecture and basic Administration and once you familar with those things then can understand how to perform activity's on DB.

    Arjantake a look at "Forum: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" with this url:
    Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
    there is many threads about XE installation.
    what do you mean by "I can't acces": via the local url "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/" ?
    So verify first if your setup has finished correctly; for example, does database files were created in C:\oraclexe\oradata\XE ?
    Or is there any other socket server running on 8080 ...

  • Pro*Cobol for Oracle 10g Express Edition is available?

    Hi to all, this is my first post here.
    I evaluating Cobol to Oracle products and I have find one it´s more
    We installed Oracle 10g Express Edition (Server and Client), to test compatibility of a Cobol product.
    This product requires the "rtsora" component, from Pro*Cobol, but we didn´t find it in any place in the instalation packages.
    The documentation show the precompilers to be at $ORACLE_HOME/precomp but there is only two folders (admin and lib) with "ottcfg" files. Nothing more
    Searching this and anothers foruns, I became to think if the precompilers facilities, like Pro*Cobol, may be available to the 10g Express Edition for Linux, OR, if this is a feature available only to the Standart Editions (or Windows)?
    The instalation and users manuals appears to don´t distinguish the 10g standart from the Express Edition. Also, the Express Edition doesn´t ask for any kind of "customization oprtions" as I read about in another topics.
    Edited:
    1 - We are using this on Linux Ubuntu.
    2 - The Windows 10g Express Edition appears to be more complete, but I need to run this on Express Edition.
    Thanks in advance!
    (sorry bad english)

    There is no official communication on 11G express edition release date .
    You will have to wait and watch Oracle Official website for that .

  • OS-Authentication  for a Oracle 10g Express Edition

    I want to use OS-Authentication for an Oracle 10g Express Edition. What value must be set in sqlnet.ora ? Where are the possible authentcation modes described ? I only found the description KERBEROS5.
    I tryed the value all, but with all no connect is possible.
    Tanks for help
    Josef Springer

    >
    Thanks for your link.
    A special username with prefix is needed. This user must be created for external authentication. This user must be known by the OS. Am i right ?
    >Right.
    >
    As i understand, to login with OS-Authentication i need a new windows user. This is not usable, because my users have their login and do not want to use another, when working with the database.
    Is there another way to use OS-Authentication ?As far as I know, this is not possible especially with Oracle XE which has not all features of Entreprise Edition.
    >
    Must the prefix be used in any case ?
    >You can have an empty prefix: you should use OS_AUTHENT_PREFIX init. parameter http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams147.htm#REFRN10152

    what is the use with that.....i don't have any idea when work with get started.....i just follow the instruction given on help and create a table....
    what is the actual use of express edition???

    Hi,
    10g express edition (XE) is free database version of 10g. Application Express (Apex) is already installed to it.
    Apex version that comes with XE is 2.1.
    You can upgrade it to version 3.2.1 witch is latest one. New version of Apex comes with some nice features like interactive reports.
    If you have installed XE you are ready to go developer Apex applications and practice Oracle database
