While it may be technically possible to use it for a DEV environment (we don't use it), it is not usable for a PROD or TEST System.

These are the licensing terms for Express Edition:

Oracle Express Edition

Oracle XE is a free version of Oracle that is limited to 1 processor, 1 GB RAM and 4 GB of data. It is also limited to 1 database on a computer, since the database must be named XE which must be unique.

Oracle Standard Edition One is the cheapest route

You would need to stick with using the DB name

MySQL is not supported as a DB - only Oracle or MS SQL Server
