As a laptop computer user surely I give Oracle XE a try.
Most intriguing is the deinstallation process: no software remains on my disk. No manual work. Great!
I also start and stop server software on demand to fit this into my working habit. Here comes the point where Oracle XE is still lacking a complete solution. Instead of just stopping the database instance, it should also stop the TNS listener. But this could be fixed easily:
- In your favorite text editor open the StartDB.bat and StopDB.bat
- Copy the TNSListener line from StartDB.bat to StopDB.bat
- Replace start by stop
- Save the StopDB.bat and verify the changes by stopping and starting your XE instance from the Start Menu
Example:
net stop OracleXETNSListener
net stop OracleServiceXE

Oracle AS comes with a specific version of the JDK. Usually one that was the latest when the product version was packaged (e.g. JDK 1.4.2_06 in Oracle AS 10.1.2). But things proceed over time and newer JDK versions crop up every now and then.
If you want to update your Oracle AS installation with the latest JDK version (e.g. 1.4.2_10 for Oracle AS 10.1.2) you simply can do this in that order:
- shutdown the complete Oracle AS
- go to the installation directory of Oracle AS
- move the old jdk directory to jdk.old
- create a new jdk directory
- install the new version of the JDK in that directory
- restart Oracle AS
Note: Install the complete JDK not only the JRE, Oracle AS needs a Java compiler for compiling JSPs and EJBs
Note: There is also Metalink Note 272808.1 with the official instructions for Oracle AS 9.0.4 and 10.1.2.x.
