Oracle express vs regular edition

how are you?
wanted to ask you the following:
i am doing an online course in PL/SQl (see below for syllabus) and originally i installed
an Oracle Express 10 edition.
my instructor though told me that i should install a regular edition because
'express edition behaves quite differently'.
the problem is that regular edition consumes a lot of resources and really slows down the computer. i have a feeling that for this
course (see below) there is not reason to install the whole of Oracle.
what is your opinions shall i switch to oracle express?
thank you :)

Intermediate Oracle
Gain hands-on experience with Oracle's PL/SQL programming language, with expert assistance from an IT veteran. PL/SQL is Oracle's procedural language extension to Structured Query Language (SQL). This course will give you the skills you need to write powerful and flexible programs using that language. You'll learn the building blocks and core features of PL/SQL, including expressions, various iterations, and built-in functions. Then, you'll begin building fully functional PL/SQL programs with procedures, packages, debugging routines, database structures, triggers, and cursor processing. By the time you finish this course, you will be able to store PL/SQL programs in a database and execute them.

Express Edition runs exactly the same PL/SQL and SQL engine as the big guys.
Express, however, does not include Java in the database so it is not possible to run or call Java Stored Procedures. This is often considered an 'advanced topic'.
In my experience, with the exception of some 'advanced' built-in packages such as Spatial (which are also advanced topics) even many of the supplied Packages and Procedures will work. As an example, even Application Express works on XE and that is done 'entirely in PL/SQL'.
The instructor is absolutely correct if referring to the management interface. Express Edition does not include DB Control. But that is not a 'PL/SQL' or 'SQL' topic unless dealing with performance management and Diagnostic/Tuning packs.
More details are necessary ... 'proof by blatant assertion' is not an answer in this case.

I guess that the problem could be that some of /etc/init.d/gdm files are not acessabale as Now there is a oracle user and dba.
Can anyone help?

Oracle Express Server Vs Oracle 10g Express Edition

Hi Guys,
I have very basic doubt regarding Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and Oracle Express Server. Is both are same or its different ??
Actually I am looking into docs of OFA i.e. Oracle Financial Analyzer, and before installing this I need to Install Oracle Express Server (OES).
Does anyone has any idea on OES
Thanks and Regards
JC

Thanks for clarification, I was suppose to write
Oracle Application Express (formerly Oracle HTML DB) .Yup. It's pretty easy to get these mixed up. Especially since Express Server and Personal Express (the BI OLAP tools) really have been off the radar for several years, ever since most of the functionality was folded into the OLAP option of the Enterprise Edition.
So what we have now is "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition" with "Oracle Application Express" as a dev/ui tool. And I've noticed that some people are saying calling "Express Server" when they mean "Application Express".

Using OBIEE with Oracle Express Edition Database? SOLVED

I have a client that wants a quick demo of OBIEE. They sent us some csv files as the data source. I migrated them to Excel files for easier use, but the Excel files seem to have limitations on how I can combine the columns, such as concatenating and formatting.
I then loaded them into an Oracle Express Edition database, assuming more "database" functionality would be available to me. I was able to load them into the Administration Tool, but Answers gives me the following error when I try to view any results from the Express database:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
Error Details

Thanks for any help. This is my first non-guided attempt using OBIEE.

Thanks. I got some assistance from a co-worker that is also using Express Edition. (This is also my first use of Express Edition.)
Here is the tnsnames entry that I created, in case it helps someone else:

Connect Toad freeware with Oracle express Edition, How?

Hello,
Although I know that people will raise the question this is Oracle and use SQL developer... Ok I do that and that is working fine. But on my work they work with TOAD so I like to work with TOAD as well and I want get some knowledge about Toad, TNSNAMES etc.
I've put the issue on TOAD forum as well, but till now I don't have received an answer.
I want to teach/learn myself Oracle by working with the Oracle express edition. I have downloaded the SQL Developer and I can work with it, which means I can create a connection.
Errors when I try to work with TOAD are:
If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"
If I click on TNSNames editor:
- Access violation in address xxxxxxx at module TOAD.exe"
I have installed oracle at D:\ORACLE_HOME. In this directory is also a TNSNAMES.ORA file.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 Home
- Oracle 32 bit client:
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- "CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production"
- TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.
*Questions:*
*- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?*
*- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?*
*- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?*

If i try to make a connection:
- "No valid clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured"Listen to that message. A 64-bit program requires 64-bit libraries.
I have installed the express edition with the installer. I have first installed the Oracle express edition and later TOAD.
I'm working on my local machine with:
- windows 7 HomeHome editions are not supported, sorry.
- Oracle 32 bit client:What is it - Client or Server?
- Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production>
- TOAD 64-bit freeware.Perhaps easiest way out is to remove 64-bit Toad and install the 32-bit one instead.

Questions:
- Are there certain environment variables necessary? Does TOAD expect Oracle at a certain directory?
- Is it necessary to add something to the PATH environment variable?
- 32-bit Oracle client will working with the 64-bit TOAD freeware?
All these should be directed elsewhere, e.g. at some Toad forum, maybe at toadworld.com.

Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

Hello,
I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
Thank you for help.

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

ORACLE EXPRESS EDITION ON WINDOWS VISTA NOT WORKING

I AM NOT SURE IT WILL HELP ME OR NOT.I JUST NEED THE ORACLE DB WORKING AT MY SYSTEM SO THAT I CAN HAVE A LITTLE DATABASE WORKING LOCALLY.
SO ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WILL BE APPRECIATED.THANKS

To check if u installed correctly, in cmd prompt type tnsping xe. If installed correctly it shud say OK(30) else it will show an error. Now if it says OK, in cmd prompt type sqlplus and connect using system/pwd_u_provided_durin_installation, it shud connect.
Some steps to follow before installing XE
Before Installing Oracle,make sure to disable all the network adapters and ping in cmd prompt localhost and ur machine name, both shud refer to 127.0.0.1. Once oracle is installed,try to connect in ur web explorer and once connected,enable the network adapters. There shudnt be any firewall prob.,if it does add port 8080 as an exception to ur firewall list.

How can I start using Oracle Express Edition

Good afternoon, how can I start using Oracle Express Edition? I have it installed it but I can not enter any user or key that allows me to manage the program from the Internet. I have understood that this version is free.
Correct me I'm wrong and please do noted me. In my country this course very expensive and I'm looking to learn on my own.
Edited by: user12301712 on 03-dic-2009 9:46

Hi
During installation wizard asked you about password for SYS and SYSTEM user, you had to set it. If you forgot you can loggin to ORACLE via SQL plus without password:
c:\>SQLPLUS / sys as sysdba
after connect you can set new password for any user, for example (SYSTEM user):
ALTER USER SYSTEM identified by NEW_PASSWORD;
After this you can login to APEX (Internet enviroment)
Remember Oracle it's not only Internet frontend, it's huge tools with many functions. If you need study Oracle you need many time and zest but it is worth-while.
Yes Oracle XE is free (read licence agreement).

How to install Oracle Spacial with Oracle Express Edition 10g?

Hello,
I'm new in Oracle Technology, I just wanted to try Oracle Spatial.
I don't know how to get it so I've installed Oracle Express and followed this tutorial :
http://oracledbas.blogspot.com/2009/06/manual-installation-of-spatial-10g.html
They say Jserver, Oracle interMedia and Oracle XML Database have to be installed, but only one of them seems to be set up (XML DB), I can't install the others.
If someone can help me to install Oracle Spatial, it would be nice. Bye.

If you want to use Oracle Express Edition, note that the 11.2 version is available on beta now:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/express-edition/overview/index.html
Its a while since I've used XE but from what I recall you get the Locator functionality, but not Spatial. That makes sense as XE is free, which Spatial needs to be licensed.
However, you can do an awful lot with Locator. To see if it is setup, just check if you have the MDSYS schema. Then describe the SDO_GEOMETRY type:
describe mdsys.sdo_geometry
If they are both there, then you're in business.

Can i install oracle express edition in VMware cloud

Can i install oracle express edition in VMware cloud
VMware are saying you need licence for using oracle in cloud
but they are showing pricing for Enterprise edition
and i am clueless

I've moved your question over to the Cloud Computing > Oracle Database Cloud Service space it I think it's likely the best place for it. Certainly the community feedback and suggestions forum (not for product related questions) was NOT the correct place, as that forum is NOT for product related questions, as it states in it's forum space title.

Oracle express edition and JDBC licensing question

Hi all,
I am writing a web application that requires a database to work. I also will be selling this application. which leads me to these questions:
1) legally can i use the oracle express edition?
2) legally can i use the oracle JDBC driver?
Thanks,

Based on the discussions in the XE forum (confirmed by Oracle representatives in official capacity) as well as the license agreement (which you should take to your lawyer tp etermine how to set up the paperwork for your application):
You can include the Oracle Express Edition in your application. You can charge for your application and give no money back to Oracle for the use of Oracle Express Edition. You can distribute the client-side JDBC that is included in XE as well.
But - you can not hold Oracle responsible for the operation of the database, nor ask them for support or patches.
As Eric says - join us over in the XE forum for more discussion of this.
