Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) Pros and Cons

Express edition helps to get most of it with a lighter version despite most of the common features included. I was very excited when I used first time because it was a quick installation, occupy less space on the disk and faster response. This was very shocking I can do my quick analysis on data for my project work. I love it most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had to use this for a project of mine based out of nodejs where our company wanted us to use express edition of oracle db and it has been amazing and easy and lot of support and guide from the websites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked the fact that our educators at my company were able to use this program for their course instruction. It was simple for them to learn, easy to install and there were no licensing costs. There were also workshops and full curriculum in computer science. You get a full course description, course mappings and more. It's truly beneficial to those who are really into technology Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We just had a few issues with downloading onto our computers, but after a few tries it was fine. I do wish there were more options for courses. Maybe add a few more courses on beginner technology or note about the advances in technology. Least helpful for general users is not being able to use every part of the program for their certain needs. You have to do a little figuring out of things to find out what works exactly for your company and your purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
