Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Hello community,

In my opinion XE is the counterpart to other free Databases which can be hosted.

We want to host data from a customer in our XE-Database and develop applications from it.

Oracle says that is it not the sense of XE to host Data from external customers. But i dont mind to the SENSE of this. There should be an agreement, a law etc. saying this is not allowed.

But I cannot find anything to it. Oracle itself wont give any more information about this.

So I am asking you. Does anyone use the XE for Hosting of external Data? Is this allowed? Surely we could switch to something like PostGre...but I dont think this is the SENSE....

Surely this is just a test and we will purchase SE after this. But its just a pilot scheme...so XE will do it.

Thanks in advance
Thorsten
