Oracle Database Personal Edition - Metalink

Hello,
I have a doubt, can you please tell me if I obtain an CSI (Customer Support Identifier) when I buy an Oracle Database Personal Edition license. I want to have access to metalink site.
Thank you in advance

You need to purchase a Personal Edition license. You can get that for one year, two years, five years or forever.
Once you have a product license, you need to purchase the support contract. It's the support contract that gets you access to metalink.
The support contract is renewed every year (repeated to the maximum years of the license). The support renewal costs a fee each year. However, you do not need to purchase a new license if the current license is still valid.

Oracle Database Personal Edition

Hi, If I buy Oracle Database Personal Edition with perpetual license and 1 year support, can I use full database support Meta-Link? If answer is yes, can I renew this support?

Hi, If I buy Oracle Database Personal Edition with perpetual license and 1 year support, can I use full database support Meta-Link? I'd say - yes. You can create support cases and download patches for Oracle Database Personal Edition. And you can search and read articles there.
If answer is yes, can I renew this support?I'd say - yes. But you better consult with Oracle representative.

Any Oracle database personal edition certified for Windows 7/32bit?

Is any Oracle database Personal edition certified for Windows 7/32bit? I spent an hour at least searching for this but no chance.
Thank you.

Currently, only 11gR2 and 10.2.0.5 are certified on Win 7 Professional or higher - Home versions are not supported.

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.

Oracle Database Standard Edition One's Cost

Dear all
I am very interest on the Oracle Database Standard Edition One, (US$149 per user (minimum five users)) includes the functionality and the cost (only US$ 149*5). However, I would like to know that is there any hidden cost for it? (e.g. maintaince fee etc.) Meanwhile, is there any backward compatible for the such license (i.e. I buy 10g version but use 8/8i version in production)
Anyone can has such experience and share for it?
Thanks in advance
Regards

There is generally a lot of confusion around Standard Editoin One. Here is my understanding, along with rationale and links supporting my understanding.
1) Standard Edition One was NOT part of Oracle8i, and NOT part of Oracle9i release 1.
Oracle's "Oracle9i Family of products" document, released shortly after 9iR1, does not mention SE1. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf
2) Standard Edition One MAY be part of Oracle9i Release 2 family, but it's not likely.
On metalink, there are a few 'forum' documents that discuss SE1 and Oracle9i. However, document #530049.994 from forum thread "Is Standard Edition One available in 9i/9ir2", dated 05-OCT-2004 says SE1 is a 10g new thing. (This post should be available in these forums.)
3) No-one purchasing a new license should be installing a fresh copy of Oracle8i and probably not Oracle9i
You purchase the license primarily to obtain (be able to purchase) support. Oracle8i is no longer under support (except through an exorbitantly priced extended support contract) and Oracle9i is abount to be mved to extended support. The question is ... why?
4) Personal Edition is NOT being replaced by SE1.
The Standard Edition One is a subset of Standard Edition - mainly missing RAC, so it is limited to one machine only. From the Oracle Database 10g Licensing document we note that the Personal Edition provides ALL FEATURES AND OPTIONS of the Enterprise Edition, except RAC.
It is fairly obvious from this that Personal Edition is targetted at developers who need metalink access, whereas Standard Edition One is targetted at workgroups that would consider using SQL Server STabdard/Workgroup Edition.

Installing Oracle Database Express Edition 11g on UBUNTU

Hello everyone,
I want to install Oracle Database Express Edition 11g on UBUNTU. I followed the steps from this link created by Dude:

My problem becomes when I type in from the terminal:

I followed the instructions there, agreeing t HTTP port 8080, port database listener 1521, specifying a password for my database account, and wanting Oracle Express to be started on boot. This is what I'm getting:

Can somebody that knows this, or has installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu, to please explain it to me what does it mean and why am I getting those errors. Please explain thoroughly as if I am an amateur person, IN DETAIL, STEP-BY-STEP. I want to run it and make it work! I heard that it encourages people to answer for points. I am open for your suggestions and experiences, as long as it's not 'use common sense', 'you're dumb', or an answer that is vaguely explained. Thank you for those that take the time to read it.

Oracle 9i Personal Edition

I REALLY need to get this installed, see previous message below. Can anyone help.

I downloaded Oracle 9i Personal edition from Oracle.com.
Installed the same on Win Me with a starter database.
I am not able to open the database since it asks me to enter a password which i've never entered.
I am not able to create a session. The moment I try to create a session on SQL, the database starts opening but i cannot get further since it asks for the password.
Please Help. Try using the generic username of scott & the generic pw of tiger. Hope this helps Hi,
Try this from dos prompt
c:\> set oracle_sid=<sid_value>
c:\> sqlplus system/manager
Can you elaborate what you meant when you say "the database starts opening" ? What is the error number and error message you are getting?

Oracle 8 personal edition - Installation problem

Dear Sirs,
I want install on windows xp the database Oracle 8 Personal Edition.
I select to install only the database standard without the reply.
Start the installatin and when dependency analysis oracle give the error:
stopsrvc.vrf{78}: Type mismatch in argument '0' when calling 'contains'
stopsrvc.vrf{78}: 'STRING' expected when 'LIST' found.
Can you help me?
I know that this version of DB is not supported. But I must a test.

This combination, to my knowledge, was never certified. If I am not wrong, you need to find a Windows 98 SE/2000 setup for running this personal edition successfully.

Cannot install Oracle 8i (Personal Edition) 8.1.7 on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
Hope it works.

Oracle Database Express Edition 10g; Designer, PL/SQL; Download

Hi,
I am new to this forum, I hope that I am posting in the right one :)
I am refreshing my SQL knowledge an installed the "Oracle Database Express Edition 10g Release 2 (10.2)" which works fine. I now would like to learn PL/SQL and Oracle Designer.
Are these 2 also offered as a free download for personal use? Since the Oracle website is pretty complex I am not sure what I should download.
Can I run these programs on one WinXP Home machine?
Thanks for your help!

Designer is not free like Express Edition. You cannot use it for any commericial purpose without a licence.
Designer is a big tool. I don't know why it shouldn't run against XE but it is a tough blighter to configure and install. It is also a moribund product, so the answer to this question:
Is there a newer Designer version available?is likely to be "No" whenever you ask it.
Cheers, APC
