Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g

Oracle is doing a lot of press releases at the moment. First they bought Sleepycat (Berkeley DB) and now they try to attack Google.com? I watched the demo of Oracle Secure Enterprise Search and I must admit the web interface looks very familiar to me :-).

I am wondering if that new product is somewhat related to YAPA the Oracle Text demo from OTN. May be YAPA is the predecessor of SES? A crawler/spider component could also be found as an demo on OTN called Indagine.

On the other hand, it is more likely that SES is the continuation of TripleHop MatchPoint which Oracle bought in June 2005.

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition

wow, the free Oracle starter database version - called Express Edition - has reached production state! In my opinion it has never been easier to get an working Oracle database installed on Linux. The download is just 220 MB large and you won`t belief it - it comes as an RPM package! Hey, and it already includes a nice web interface, which makes it easy to create small database driven web applications:

Oracle Express Edition - Web-Interface

You can find more information on the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition homepage.

Finally there is also a new version (1.3.21) of TOra - Toolkit For Oracle which also works quite well with the Express Edition. You can download TOra from tora.sf.net
