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

[…] 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,

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
