Oracle XE is great because it is lightweight and 'free to develop, deploy and distribute'. Dietmar Aust has posted a thorough, where representatives from Oracle have confirmed that XE is indeed free. (The post also includes some good security advice in the comments.) Oracle XE has its limitations, but I've previously posted, which shows that it is more than good enough for many use cases.
Oracle Database 12c Express Edition
Back to the topic of this post. During the Q&A part of the 'Oracle Database 12c Launch Webcast' there were several questions about a 12c version of XE: Will there be an Oracle 12c Express Edition? It is planned, but there are no dates yet. Is there an Express edition of 12c available? Planned, but no dates yet. Will 12c be available for Express Edition? If so, schedule? Planned but no dates yet. So basically, we now know that there will be an Oracle 12c Express Edition coming out, but we have no idea when.
Hopefully it won't take 5-6 years, like. (and when it arrives it will probably be for 64-bit Windows, which was promised for XE 11g, but which never materialized UPDATE: ). But hey, it's free, and it's a great product, so it will be worth the wait!:-). I work as a software developer and have some customers that want to use the product that we create on Oracle. I therefore need to have access to an Oracle database in order to do my job.
I've selected the use of XE because I can run a copy of it on my development box. I can't always be connected to my corporate network and XE allows me have access to a server whenever I need. While I agree it is a good to have a version of product for free, I do see a SERIOUS lack of commitment, support, and tools coming out of Oracle.
While I don't want to get into the merits of which database is better, I see much more of a commitment coming from Redmond. I've seen this time and time again that companies that make things easy for a developer to latch onto their product have more applications and community support. I think that Oracle's lack of commitment and apparent apathy for anyone using their 'free' product sends a message to the development community that they are not interested unless you've got the cash to play.
Just my two cents. Read the Oracle Licensing documentation. You cannot use Enterprise for development without paying for it. If you use it under the 'Personal database' rules you may do so provided you and no one else ever accesses the database or any tools referencing it, but the moment another person does you are in violation of the licensing restrictions in the neighborhood of around $40,000.00 USD. number of cores (multiplied by Oracle Licensing's core multiplier). I would like to see 12c Express as well, however, given the 12c architecture introduces multitenant architecture, and Express is limited to one and only one database per physical server, I highly doubt 12c will be available as Express without significant functional limitations.
Soumya Boral said. This type of behavior is really disappointing.
I am a data analyst and was trying to learn SQL and seeing the amount of features available for Oracle database, thought to choose it. But lack of free version is really keeping me back. Believe me, if this type of lack continues one day, the free options will definitely win.
For example in case of data science, SAS ( a popular data analysis software ) never gave a free version and people migrated to R ( an open source data analysis language ) and now SAS has realized their mistake and is offering some free versions. But it is too late. Here also this is going to happen eventually. If Oracle doesn't check it early, they will surely going to lose ground in spite of great features.
