Written by 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 scripts I just wrote for the latest version: 12c Release 1.
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.
How is that superior to http://docs.oracle.com/cds/E16655_01.zip ?
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

[…] website. Download links for the product were available on the site as of late Tuesday，and here is script to download the Oracle 12C […]
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
Thank you for the tip, Ron!
Thanks a lot, Christian!
Hi Christian,
When are we going to see TOP for 12c updated?
Thanks!
Hi
By the end of the year it should be available.
Cheers,
Chris
Sir,
Eagerly waiting for TOP 12c updated.
I hope it soon gets available
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.

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,

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
