Distributions

Oracle NoSQL Database comes in three distributions: Community Edition (CE), Enterprise Edition (EE), and Client.

  • The CE version is open source. It ships with source code and is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (Apache 2.0). It includes the client and server distribution, but does not include some server features.

  • The EE version does not include source code and it ships with an Oracle license. The EE version includes the client and server distribution, and includes several features not found in the CE version: Oracle External Tables support, Oracle Wallet support for external password storage, and support for Kerberos authentication.

  • The Client version is open source. It ships with source code and is released under the Apache 2.0 License (Apache 2.0). The Client version only contains the implementation of the client API, which may be used to access servers running under CE or EE.

In addition, example code is provided in its own package, which can be used with any of the distributions.
