what is the most lightweight oracle version? - oracle

i want to install oracle 11g on a very weak computer for learning.
what is the most lightweight oracle version ?
is it the express edition ?
thanks in advance

I guess it will depend on the sorts of things you are wanting to learn.
I've been using Oracle Database 10g Express Edition as a datastore for personal/learning software development projects. From Oracle's website:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) is an entry-level, small-footprint database based on the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 code base that's free to develop, deploy, and distribute; fast to download; and simple to administer.
For what I need, I've found it quick and easy to use.

Oracle XE is the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.
If you don't need any special 11g features though, this might well be sufficient for you.

yes oracle express edition is the one you want if you have a weaker computer. it requires 512 MB RAM to work smoothly. however, it is based on Oracle 10g release 2, so it is not quite 11g. but since you are just learning it is good. start with the tutorial here and other books in the oracle site.

Oracle Database 11g Express Edition is out.

Oracle XE is based on 10g. So if you want to learn Oracle 11g you should install 11g.

As Yada says, there currently no 11g Express version and it's not due for about another year - discussion can be found here:

Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) are the most lightweight version available for developers.

SSIS packages stopped working after Oracle DB and Oracle Client upgrade

We currently use SSIS for transferring data from Oracle Server and load into SQL Server.
The Oracle Server has now been upgraded to 19c from 11g after which we are unable to connect to
OLD Versions of softwares used
Oracle Server Version : 11g
Microsoft Visual Studio : V14.0.250420.01 update 3
Oracle SSIS version : 14.0.800.900
Attunity Connector version : 2/3/4/5
Oracle is now upgraded to 19c and now the SSIS packages have stopped working.
I tried upgrading the Oracle Client to 19c but it did not help. Please guide
Visual Studio stopped working because the Attunity Connector version is not compatible with Oracle 19c Client. For now I have uninstalled the Oracle 19c Client and reinstalled both 11g and 12c clients to make everything work. We are currently upgrading the Visual Studio to next version to make everything work together.

Using Oracles ODP.NET 12c Release 2 with Oracle 11g r2 Database

Our Oracle Db's are Oracle 11G r2,. We use Visual Studio 2013 for development. Is ODAC 12C backwards compatible with the Oracle 11g r2 server? Are there any issues a developer will encounter using a newer ODAC /ODP.NET version than the database it's connecting to?
