![]() ![]() Yes,most oracle come with a Developer License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications, or for strictly self-educational purposes. You get some tools too, including SQL Developer, but you might have less friction running that natively and connecting it to the DB in the VM. Of course, it's unsupported, but as you won't have a support contract anyway that's a bit of a moot point.Īs David said, PL/SQL is integral to the database, not a separate component, so it is available in the VM image. ![]() VirtualBox (available for free), import, and go (but not forįor experimenting it's ideal, in my experience.

Instead, we have packaged such stacks into pre-built Oracle VM Without having to spend multiple cycles on the install process. Learning your way around a new software stack is challenging enough The overview echos what others have said about licensing kicking in once you ship an application (but Oracle licensing is a quagmire, you'll need to talk to Oracle about it if/when you get past playing around): That can get you up and running very quickly, and you can connect to the DB running inside the VM from outside, so you can continue to do your development in your current environment. If you're really only looking to learn about the development side and have no interest in the administration or installation side at the moment, a quicker route might be to download a prebuilt developer VM image for Virtualbox.
