#Oracle 10g express download update#
If you haven’t done yet, perform a full system update before.
#Oracle 10g express download install#
If you need it, just download and install like any other package.Ī common issue is that Oracle 10g XE only comes as 32-Bit, so, if you are running a 64-Bit Linux, you will need to install the compatibility (32Bit – 64Bit) libraries.
The client package ( Oracle Database 10g Express Client) is not always needed: the server package already contains the client part, and, for java applications, using the jdbc driver will solve any client needs, although software not wrote in java may require it. I suggest the one from Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal) group ( oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_b). The trick point here, if you are using Mint, is: there is not a Mint software package, but, the most part of Mint’s package came from Ubuntu, so you can pick the ubuntu version. This version of Oracle 10g is limited, but usually is enough for a development and testing environment. You will not be able to download it if you do not accept the terms. If you do agree with the terms, select Accept License Agreement. Read and accept the “ OTN License Agreement for Oracle Database Express Edition“. Go to (direct link for the download section for 10g XE). The software package required to be installed is available at Oracle’s site. This version comes with APEX, or Application Express, a web management application provided by Oracle.Īs the DBMS will run on a server (even if it is running on the same machine you will use, it will require a proper server setup), check Server Setup Page. This way, this version may fits well for small business and an environment for development and test. The main difference is that the XE version only handle 4 GB of disk space, only uses one CPU core and 1 GB of system memory and even on a 64-Bit OS, will work as a 32-Bit App. It uses much less disk space, consumes less CPU power and is provided for free. The Oracle 10g XE (Express Edition) is a lightweight version of Oracle 10g.
So, Oracle may refers to the company and, as well, to the DBMS it provides.
The company names its products after the company name. Oracle is one of the most known DBMS provider.
