Anyone install Oracle database 10g Release 2 on OS "Vista Home" Edition??

Dear all,
Anyone install Oracle database 10g Release 2 on OS "Vista Home" Edition??
Best Regards,
Amy

I think that all that Hans and Werner are saying is that since Oracle is not supported on Windows Home anything, if you have any problems with it, blame Windows and not Oracle. I would also guess that most people who are serious about learning Oracle (which you probably are since no business would install Oracle on Windows Vista Home), would install it on a supported platform such as the Windows Server Editions, XP Pro or Linux.
One possible alternative to what you are asking about is to install a virtual machine on your Windows Home Premium, install Linux as the guest OS in your virtual machine and then install Oracle on the Linux OS. The good thing about this type of installation vs. a dual-boot-with-Linux installation is you don't have to worry about possibly ruining your Windows installation if something goes wrong setting up the dual boot.

  • Do i need IP address to install Oracle Database 10g

    Dear all,
    i want to test some thing with oracle database 10g release 2 at my home
    but there i do not have a network card
    so i will not be able to obtain an ip address, so can i install it without the need of the ip address?
    Best Regards,
    Ashraf

    but there i do not have a network card
    so i will not be able to obtain an ip address, so can
    i install it without the need of the ip address?IP address is needed to install oracle database. But you don't have network card so you can use 127.0.0.1 , that is by default IP address for local host. Make sure you have made in hosts file ( /etc/hosts in Linux and C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in windows ).
    example
    127.0.0.1 localhost <your hostname>
    In windows you need to install a Loopback Adapter

    Is it because 10g installation is picking the same oracle inventory /oracle/inventory
    do i need to make different oracle inventory for different oracle homes???????plz confirm..is thats the reason i am getting this error??????
    Thanks inadvance

    I figure out you are trying to install 10gR2 on top of an existing 9iR2 Oracle Home. This is corrected at the Path definition window. Most probably you just click on the <Next> and by default the 9iR2 Oracle Home was selected. You must define a new oracle home for the 10gR2 install.

  • Important--Bug(ORA-22813) fixes in Oracle Database 10g  Release 10.2.0.4

    Hi,
    I found that in SELECT STATEMENTs where we use "xmlagg() functions with a GROUP BY/ORDER BY,it fails with ORA-22813 if the result is too large.
    This happens as there is a hard coded limit on the result size. (max 30k)
    Next,i confirmed that and when i removed a portion of the XML agg() values and executed it---Wonders,it runs perfectly fine.
    This means that ""xmlagg() functions with a GROUP BY/ORDER BY,fails with ORA-22813 since the result is too large.
    I have come to know that patch "Release 10.2.0.4" has the fix for Bug-22813 for "xmlagg() functions with a GROUP BY/ORDER BY".
    Could you all please confirm that "Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4" (patch 10.2.04) fixes the issue?
    Based on your confirmation,i can go ahead to get the patch installed.

    Your query should be written something like this..
    select d.*
      from fbnk_customer,
           XMLTABLE
              '//c3'
              passing XMLRECORD
              columns
              C3_VALUE varchar2(60) path 'text()'
           ) d
    where recid='1001400'; Although it would be better to use an extact path expression rather than '//c3'

  • Upgrading from Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2)

    Hello everyone;
       We are in the process of looking into  upgrading from our current Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2): Windows
    We would like to download and install the 10.2.0.1 base release (Oracle Software).   When I go on SAP Marketplace
    https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/oracle-download  and goto the (Software Download) section and click on
    Oracle 10.2 Software (32-bit versions) to download  I receive a error  NO DATA AVAILABLE.
    Is there another area to download the Oracle Software? or do I need to purchase a CD from SAP or can I download this base release straight from Oracle? 
    Thanks for your time and have a great day.

    Hello Pellegrino,
    just download it from the SAP container for each product .. for example
    -> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 -> Windows Server -> ORACLE

    Hi,
    Oracle Database is supported on Windows Vista with the 10.2.0.3 release. Use the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) for Microsoft Windows Vista media available in the 10.2.0.3 media pack and the Oracle Technology Network site. Do not install Oracle Database on Windows Vista using the media for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows.

  • Installing Oracle Database 10g  on Linux Red Hat 5.1

    While inslalling Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) we've got an error
    Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
    Failed <<<<
    Could we install Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1 or we need only Oracle Database 11g?

    Verify that the redhat-release RPM is installed on your Red Hat system:
    rpm -q redhat-release
    This RPM is important for RHEL since RHEL AS 4, RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 2.1 are Linux releases supported by Oracle. Without this RPM, Oracle 10g OUI won't be able to recognize it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file. You also have to change /etc/redhat-release for unsupported releases like Fedora Core and RH9.
    I do not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable other checks you probably don't want to.
    On RHEL AS 4 (for 10g R1), RH9, and FC 1 you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to make Oracle 10g believe it's running on a supported release.
    Regarding RHEL AS 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.
    To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy/paste the following commands:
    su - root
    cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
    cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
    EOF
    After you are done with the Oracle10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-release:
    su - root
    cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release

It is also part of the exhaustively complete documentation set for every oracle product found at tahiti.oracle.com. Go there, select your product and version. When you arrive at the page for your specific product version, somewhere on that page (location varies between versions) you will find a link to the installation guide.
    Also please note that there are several versions of Vista, and the Oracle db is not certified for all of them, but only for specific versions.
