Database Oracle Express Edition (XE) advice and recommended reading

Hi all

Still relatively new to the forums and databases, but I stumbled on the Oracle Database Express Edition today, I didn't even know that Oracle has offered something like that. Great stuff, perfect for students aspiring DBA and analysts to draw lessons. These forums have been a mine of information, but it would be good to have a sticky thread at the top of the forum with all the Oracle documentation best and other reading materials to learn how to use Oracle XE! Any suggestions by veterans over here?

Documentation can be found on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/index.htm

  • Oracle APEX Performance on Oracle Express Edition

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone can help me, I'm looking to change my environment hosted on a virtual server. The server running VMWARE Windows 2012 R2 and Oracle Express Edition with the latest version of the APEX.

    The server would be:

    3Gig Ram

    25Gig storage

    1 virtual processor

    Someone at - he no idea how it would perform? I currently have applications with up to 200 people using the system at a point in time. Performance is critical obviusly and I don't want this virtual solution if I'll take a drop in performance.

    Just to clarify, the only reason why I'm looking to spend are all my clients are located in South Africa and I am currently hosted in the United Kingdom. The shift would be seriously reduced if I moved to accommodation in South Africa.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi André,.

    I did a few tests of performance and scalability with APEX on XE with JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/)

    The limitation of the XE is mainly database size (I think only 11 GB for user data) and max 1 GB for the database altogether instance.

    When you use the EPG of APEX I started to run into trouble after 20 + sessions at the same time.

    When you use the earpiece of the APEX, I was able to push a tot of factor 2 3...

    After that XE has usually crashed due to problems of memory.

    Everything depends on the application and how active users are their session but more importantly could give you a good indication that XE isn't the way to go for 200 users working at the same time.

    Maybe check jmeter (very easy) with your application and the config to see when it crashes. SE1 could also be a cheap alternative.

  • HOT backup database 10g express edition

    Dear Sir
    I use oracle database 10g express edition with 3.2.1 apex.

    I'm planing to db.here hot backup entire database is 24 x 7 running... fashion archive
    Info

    pFile, control, password file
    System datafile
    SYSAUX datafile
    Undo tablespace file
    temporary tablespace file
    redo log files
    application data tablespace file
    application index tablespace file

    for backup of the entire database HOT including apex WORKSPACE... which tablespace or files are REQUIRED for backup?

    Thank you
    Engr.M.K Chowdhury

    Hello

    To be convinced, you can do the following:

    alter database begin backup;
    

    Then, you check the backup status of your datafilles with the following query:

    select file#, status
    from v$backup
    order by file#;
    

    If the status is ACTIVE, this means that the data files are in backup mode, and you can copy them.

    The redologs online, you can save them but this is not mandatory, because you have logs archived.

    It is important to get all archived logs generated during (and after) the backup.

    To do this, you can run the following right after the hot data files backup:

    alter system archive log current;
    

    It will generate a log archived that you need to include in your backup.

    If you lose all your data (including the redologs online), after you restore the data files, you need to retrieve
    the database. During this operation, you apply all archived logs and then you reset the redologs. It is a
    incomplete recovery.

    However, for the online redo logs, it is important to multiplex to another disk. So, if you lose members on
    a single disk, you can perform a full restore with their copy on the second disc.

    Hope this helps.
    Best regards

  • The Oracle Express Edition XE upgrade to 11g (11.2) using DBUA

    Hi all

    I have a server Oracle xe on a platform of red hat linux 4, I need to upgrade to 11g (11.2) using DBUA.
    This is the first time for me to use DBUA, I'm following the steps described in the Oracle database upgrade guide.
    I'm a little confused, I have a very basic question:

    in step pre using DBUA, when I install the 11g, can I install the oracle software only, or can I also create an 11g database?
    in other words, I have the impression that the DBUA will upgrade the XE database itself, change the data files and tables of the tenth to 11g?

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    You did not mention the full version of your database in the tenth. If one 10.2.0.1, you cannot improve it 11.2 using DBUA directly. First, you must update at least to 10.2.0.2 before going to 11.2.

    Please refer to Metalink Notes 980693.1 and 837570.1 for more details.

  • Database Oracle Express security issues

    Hello

    I really hope you can help me with this.

    I have a machine with Ubuntu installed Server and Oracle 10 g 10.2.1.0 database Express, currently I had some security because of a spam bot problems and some zombie running process on my server, I already closed all ports which are not very necessary.

    After doing a Scan of Nessus, the results were a lot of patches Oracle are needed, after some research, I discovered that it takes a CSI.

    My question is this, is there an alternative to the installation of this paches? As the upgrade to 11g maybe would solve my problem?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Gustavo.

    If you are concerned about potential security issues, you can consider getting a paid license and support - not available/possible services with XE.

    That said, 11.2 XE is likely to have another set of bugs, but as is 11.2.0.2 version that is not a basic version it might be beneficial. You just need to install it and try it! (Note: there is no way to upgrade with XE, AFAIK)
