Here’s a very short list of open source server software that I have found to run smoothly with an Oracle database back-end. All will work with the free Express Edition.<\/p>\n
While a bit of an overkill for a personal or small organization blog, \u00a0Drupal<\/a>\u00a0is just about the only tool I have found that works well with an Oracle back-end. Combined with the right theme and an image gallery, it should also be able to run a photoblog. \u00a0I really wish someone would adapt tools like Pixelpost<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0WordPress<\/a>\u00a0which both make it very easy to get a good looking site running.\u00a0There was a project named orablog that looked promising, but appears to have been abandoned years ago.<\/p>\n I was genuinely surprised by how easy it was to get up and running with\u00a0phpBB<\/a>\u00a0 on Oracle 11g XE.<\/p>\n Whether you are small brochure style website or an elaborate e-commerce site,\u00a0Drupal<\/a>\u00a0should be able to\u00a0accommodate\u00a0most or all of your requirements.
