"Perfect way to evaluate Oracle Database for free or to use in small test & dev environments"
What do you like best about Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)?
Obviously, this version is limited in RAM (2Gb at the time of writing), CPU threads and user data (12 Gb at the time of writing), but it's free of charge! It's perfect for evaluating Oracle DB and/or running a small-scale test/dev environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)?
In 10g/11g, the limitations of Express Edition were quite harsh, but thankfully since v18c, the XE limits have been raised and allow much more room for manoeuvre. The current version at the time of writing (21c) allows for a maximum of 12Gb of database space. Honestly there is not much to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
