I'm starting to experiment with web applications using JSPs. I want to create a simple web app which will run locally connected with an Oracle 11gR2 database as well. If i understood Oracle's licensing i won't have any issues since Web Application won't be in Production, am i right? Which Edition of Oracle would you recommend for a simple Web App running on Windows-64 bit?

You can install Oracle 11g Express Edition. It should meet your needs.

Since you're experimenting, and if you're fairly new to Oracle or just aren't particularly interested in the DBA/installation side, you could consider a pre-built VM image. You can pick one that contains a database, SQL Developer and other tools; and whatever additional listed tools and technologies sounds most appropriate for the kind of things you'll be playing with.

As well as being very quick and easy to set up - no DBA knowledge required - it's completely isolated from any real environments you want to avoid interfering with, can run on any machine and O/S that runs VirtualBox, and best of all, if (or when) you really mess something up you can trash it and start again.

  • I am fairly new to Oracle but i am actually interested in the DBA/installation side. It might be a little more time-consuming but i guess it is worth the time! If i find it too much to handle for now i will definitely consider your solution. – Spapo Feb 24 '14 at 17:52
