How to install Oracle Database 21c SE2 from rpm on Oracle Linux8

Sascha Monteiro

Hi,

When I install the database using the rpm it seems to be EE (Enterprise Edition) only,

I can't find a way to install SE2 with the rpm, I guess it's not just a licensing issue?

This page https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/oracle-database-software-downloads.html

says: 21.3 - Enterprise Edition (also includes Standard Edition 2)

But another page https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/21/ladbi/restrictions-for-rpm-based-installations.html#GUID-22C1C4C1-49BE-4664-9A73-E96F70665633

says: An RPM-based Oracle Database installation is not available for Standard Edition 2.

Yes, AFAIK rpm installation is only for EE. The phrase you mentioned "also includes Standard Edition 2" is a generic one that is for the "classic" installation,
