Searching for Oracle Database Express Edition 10g (32 bit)

tbbmw · 03-15-2013, 06:16 AM

I am working my way to a DBA/DBM and need some practice at home. Currently I have a 32 bit machine running Red Hat Linux (4) and need to load Oracle Database Express Edition 10g (32 bit) to practice SQL. Can't find the 32 bit version of Express at Oracle's site, only the 64 bit version for Linux.
Does someone out there have a copy of the Oracle Database Express Edition 10g (32 bit) tar file or a site I can get it from?

Poke around Oracle site. I think they have more available if you register. Might be a pre-made VM image with oracle linux and 10g in it.

You might also want to consider a current distro; RHEL4 is out of support (unless you pay extra for Extended Support).
Current are RHEL 5.9 & RHEL 6.4 : both also avail as Centos (free) or maybe go with OEL; Oracle's rebuild of RHEL, with a tuned kernel for running Oracle DB.
