Oracle 10g Personal Edition

I see that there is a personal edition of 10g which appears to be embedded in the Enterprise installer.
The OTN refers to 30 day trial periods etc. but makes no specific reference to the personal edition.
Do the same 'rules' apply or is the personal edition as per industry standards - free to use to develop one's own database.
Often the personal editions of software allows one to develop and even deploy 'stand alone' software - not my purpose, which is for learning Oracle - but just wondering about the extent of use of the personal Edition.
Regards,

The situation is that we do have a valid Oracle license for the system running at work. I just need to learn Oracle and develop applications that will be transferred to the Oracle server at work.
Need to do this at home as I haven't the time to do so at work - hence looking at the Personal version.
Have looked at XE but it doesn't come with the 'standard' tools that the commercial verions of Oracle come with.
Would like to proceed as per the 2 Day DBA course, which is more of a tutorial, so need to have 'hands on' experience. Not a good idea to mess around with a live database in my opinion.
Thanks and regards

Installing Oracle 10g personal edition

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 10g personal edition on ubuntu. After installing I ran the following command: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure and by mistake gave a port number for HTTP port on which already another server is running. But now I am unable to change my configuration settings.
Everytime I give the command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure it says "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured"
How can I change the configuration setting now? Do I need to reinstall it? Would be a great help, if somebody can tell me.
Thanks,
tulip

Oracle 10g Personal edition as a Client Database

Hi, Our enterprise application runs as in both Online and offline mode. For offline mode it uses Microsoft accesss as Data Store. Now we want to use Oracle 10g Personal Edition as Our client database, so that we can use stored procedure and have code base for both server and client. Oracle XE can not be used because Oracle XE is not supported by Oracle.
Please suggest what is the best way to deploy Oracle PE to get smallest footprint and best performance. It is alright to use PE as client DB or it is too much for offline application.
Any suggested customizations or Alternatives. We have rules out Oracle Database lite because it doesn't support Pl/ SQL SP. Thanks.

Note that Personal Edition is actually designed for Developers. It includes all options to the Enterprise Edition (except RAC) but is limited by license agreement to being used by one named person. You can not legally provide data from Personal Edition through direct connection electronically (eg: a web or app server) to several people. You also can not say "John is using it now, and when he is off, Fred will use it."
The best and smallest footprinit is XE, but (as you say) you can not purchasse support from Oracle. Next is Standard Edition 1, with a Standard Edition software install (SE and SE1 are the same s/w) and a custom-created DB.

Starting/Stopping Oracle 10g Personal Edition

Just wondering how one starts & stops 10g PE?
Oracle asks for Host credentials and database credentials.
SYS doesn't seem to work and as there is no security settings under Admin (in PE) I can't create my login as a SYSDBA.
Suggestions appreciated!

PE is actually a superset of EE (Enterprise Edtion), with all EE options except RAC. It is targetted towards developers and designed to allow a develolper access to all of the capabiltites
Therefore, you can search the docs to find out how to start/stop the database's instance[s] and any reference to the Enterrprise Edition will be valid in your case. If I remember correctly, there is a chapter in the Installation Guide that covers the topic.
IN any case, PE is only licensed on Windows (presumably because developers only work in Windows???), so:
- Go to Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services
- Ensure the TNS Listener service is running first
- Start the Oracle service
The questions you ask indicate you are confused about the relationship between SYSDBA and the OS userid. I strongly encourage reading the first 2 chapters of the Concepts manual (at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1) to get a decent starting point.

Error when trying to configure Oracle 10g Personal Edition

seemingly task is never ending. request oracle to make better products.
Here is the error message I get when attempting an install on a Windows XP Professional laptop.
Failed to allocate port(s) in the specified range(s) for the following process(es): JMS [5540-5559],RMI [5520-5539],Database Control [5500-5519],EM Agent [3938] | [1830-1849]
Any ideas????

Dunno. Sounds firewall related though.

Oracle Database 10g Personal Edition. I can't find download.

I am looking for a Oracle release to work at home. I need compatibility with Oracle 9i, release installed at work. I think Oracle Database 9i Personal Edition would be perfect, but I didn't find where is the correct download for Linux.
I didn't find the Oracle Database 10g Personal Edition download too. Is there another name?

The enterprise edition download CD will give you the option of installing the personal edition as one of the install options.

Not able to create partitions using Oracle 10g express edition

Hello Everyone,
I downloaded Oracle 10g express edition as the documentation for the same says that it supports partitioning of the table.
But when I try to run a command like
CREATE TABLE sales_range
(salesman_id NUMBER(5),
salesman_name VARCHAR2(30),
sales_amount NUMBER(10),
sales_date DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE(sales_date)
PARTITION sales_jan2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('02/01/2000','DD/MM/YYYY')),
PARTITION sales_feb2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('03/01/2000','DD/MM/YYYY')),
PARTITION sales_mar2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('04/01/2000','DD/MM/YYYY')),
PARTITION sales_apr2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('05/01/2000','DD/MM/YYYY'))
I get the following error
"ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Partitioning"
Please let me know what is causing the issue/error and how to resolve it.
Thanks.

Where did you read that the express edition supports partitioning? I would strongly suspect that there was an error in the documentation-- partitioning is an extra cost option on top of an enterprise edition database. Perhaps you are confusing the personal edition (which does support partitioning) with the express edition?

Installing Discoverer with Database Version Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hello,
Is it possilbe to install Discoverer with database version Oracle 10g Express Edition? I have Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.1.0 on my Windows XP machine as well. If so, can someone please provide me a link to the Discoverer download.
Regards,
Kelly

Note that the Personal Edition of the database is 'the most powerful' version, in that it contains all features and options of the Enterprise Edition (expect RAC and Enterprise Manager packs)
As such, the Personal Edition, at a mere USD$400-500 is one of the most cost effective for-fee products that Oracle has in it's inventory. It is targeted at the developer. And it comes with the complete set of Sample Data, whereas XE has a very limited subset (since it does not support all functionality).
Express Edition is indeed free, but it is not supported, and can not be patched. OTOH it does have a lighter footprint.
Again, I am not sure whether Disco 11g is compatible with Express Edition. (It's on my schedule for December ...)

10g Personal Edition Question

I am newbie and have a question regarding 10g personal edition. I see that this version supports one user connection but I am trying to find out if the user connection can be remote (from another workstation) or if it has to be local.
I have (2) XP boxes and want to install 10g personal edition on one XP box then access the DB from the other XP box. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Like the original poster, I too am a total Oracle newbie, considering migrating to Oracle from the outstandling but comparatively feature-poor PostgreSQL, and I'm trying the downloadable version of the Personal Edition database 10gR2, and I cannot for the newbie life of me figure out how to use this thing remotely, so that I can have Oracle running on my server at home and use it/develop with it using Enterprise Manager and SQL Developer from, say, a coffeeshop or other remote location via the Internet. (Exception: remote control software--RADMIN works well--but this is not a good non-emergency solution.)
Ultimately, it would also need to be secure (SSL or something), but at this point, I cannot get it to work at all. I know how port-forwarding and other firewallish things work, but I suspect the problem is that the Personal Edition uses a local loopback connection which may be inaccessible from the Net?
Of course I'm perfectly willing to buy the product if I can be assured that this will ultimately work reliably--is that's what's necessary to get it to work (the downloadewd version being crippled somehow?), or to get any support (folks say Metalink is helpful)?
Usually, the documentation is all I need to make something go, but the Oracle documentation I've looked at so far is at once incredibly expansive and not very helpful to me. (I may not know enough for it to be helpful: most of the documentation seems to assume you're already fully immersed in the Oracle world, and little of it seems specific to the Personal Edition's quirks.)
Any pointers to explicit documentation, let alone some step-by-step "here's what you have to do" instructions, would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks!

How can i create a new database instance in oracle 10g express edition?

yaa i'm sure about that .
i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)
