Scripts to Download Oracle Database 12c Release 1 Documentation

1 July 2013 12 Comments Written by Christian Antognini

In the past (here and here) I already shared with you the scripts I used to download the documentation related to Oracle Database. The aim of this short post is to provide the script I just wrote for the latest version: 12c Release 1.

  • download121.sh

Happy download as well as happy reading!

PS: it is interesting to note that the number of manuals is more or less stable. Some were added (e.g. SQL Tuning Guide), some were removed (e.g. all related to OWB).

Update 2015-07-22: I updated the scripts to make them compatible to the current documentation website.

Update 2017-02-01: I refreshed the scripts.

Update 2018-02-27: new version of the scripts using the new URLs and structure used by Oracle’s documentation website.

Change 2020-02-09: removed CMD script, refreshed SH script and moved it to GitHub.

12cR1, Documentation
Named Notation and SEM_MATCH Table Function
The Broken Statistics: "parse count (total)" and "session cursor cache hits"

      Hi

      The reasons are explained in the first referenced post. Simply put 1) I use PDFs 2) the names of the files provided by Oracle’s ZIP are cryptic.

      Cheers
      Chris

    Thanks, Christian – very helpful.
    For the Mac users like me, simply change the following (if you don’t have wget from MacPorts)
    change all wget -nv to curl
    change all -O to -o

    Hello Chris,
    It seems that Oracle has changed the old document link and the script won’t work. I use of and tweak your script (only 12c now), and here is the new one I’d like to share with you, http://goo.gl/WTfIJh

    Thank you,
    Bundit

      Hi Bundit

      Yes, I noticed it but I still have to find the time to update the scripts. Hence, thank you for sharing your work!

      Best,
      Chris
