Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: How to use small oracle database in my program
I think the answer will depend slightly on your operating platform and
intended use of the product... But the generic answer is No.
I have never heard of "just the engine" for Oracle... Essentially Oracle is just an engine, there's not much you could remove and still have a functioning product unless you strip features like partitioning.
I believe Oracle is free for some platforms - Linux comes to mind, but I believe this may be limited to non-commercial use.
I guess at the end of the day Oracle has to make money to feed their programmers, etc so you aren't likely to find Oracle for free. Having said that I know some members of this list speak highly of Postgress and MySQL for small / free database engines. Alternatively perhaps you can integrate an Access style database - I've certainly done it in Visual Basic before.
Regards,
Mark.

Please respond
to ORACLE-L
What do you thinke of how the OutLook express handle the data (email)?
I think they are stored in database .
Now ,I am going to program by visual c++ ,
In order to process large data , I want to use oracle .
But I don't want to tell my users: " to get a oracle database 9i and
install it .The program needs them".
If there is some way to get the core parts of oracle that you only
install it you can use them?
I just need some table and index to make my processing data fast.
Thank you !
