JSP in Oracle 8i enterprise edition for linux

Well, the thing is,
i'm trying to configure my server to run with JSP, i've tried ererything, map the directories, see de wrapper_classpath, everything, even servlet zones, but my problem, is that i can't put JSP to work, all the time it gives me this error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main.
I believe this is a simple thing, and probably a stupid one, but i just can't figure it out. I would like someone, if possible, to help me in this one.
i'm sorry to be spending your precious time.
Nothing else.
I than you in advance
Nuno Rodrigues.

if you're using ias 8i/9i or rdbms 817
consider the following :
Problem Description
You are trying to call a simple Java Server Page using iAS on Tru64 Unix.
The call fails with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/tools/javac/Main
Solution Description
Go to the Jserv configuration directory ($ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc)
and edit the jserv.properties file.
Uncomment the following line :
#wrapper.classpath=/jdk12_home/lib/tools.jar
Replace jdk12_home with the location of your JDK, typically
/usr/opt/java122
If you are using JDK 1.1.X, replace tools.jar with classes.zip
(e.g. /usr/opt/java118/lib/classes.zip)
Explanation
Java Server Pages need to have access to the java compiler, in order
to generate the servlet from the JSP.
The JDK is not automatically included in Jserv's classpath

  • Disk 2 of 9i Enterprise Edition for Linux corrupted

    I've attempted to download the second disk of 9i EE for Linux four times already and everytime, when I unzip it, I get a file corrupt error, which isnt surprising because the downloaded file size is only 450Mb. I monitored my last download from start till end and I'm very sure I received all the bytes. I'm beginning to believe that the source is really corrupted!

    1). download from the second link.
    2). Yes. After few pre-install configurations.

  • "In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition

    Hi,
    In one of our applications, we are using TimesTen 5.1.24 and Oracle 9i
    databases (platform - Solaris 9i).
    TimesTen holds application information which needs to be accessed quickly
    and Oracle 9i is a master application database.
    Now we are looking at an option of migrating from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g
    database. While exploring about Oracle 10g features, came to know about
    "In-Memory Database Cache" option for Oracle Enterprise Edition. This made
    me to think about using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition with "In-Memory
    Database Cache" option for our application.
    Following are the advantages that I could visualize by adopting the
    above-mentioned approach:
    1. Data reconciliation between Oracle and TimesTen is not required (i.e.
    data can be maintained only in Oracle tables and for caching "In-Memory
    Database Cache" can be used)
    2. Data maintenance is easy and gives one view access to data
    I have following queries regarding the above-mentioned solution:
    1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
    "In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
    2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
    installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
    cache feature)?
    3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
    Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
    4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
    access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
    in making this statement?
    5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
    Database Cache"?
    In "Options and Packs" chapter in Oracle documentation
    (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/options.htm
    #CIHJJBGA), I encountered the following statement:
    "For the purposes of licensing Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, only the
    processors on which the TimesTen In-Memory Database component of the
    In-Memory Database Cache software is installed and/or running are counted
    for the purpose of determining the number of licenses required."
    We have servers with the following configuration. Is there a way to get the
    count of processors on which the Cache software could be installed and/or
    running? Please assist.
    Production box with 12 core 2 duo processors (24 cores)
    Pre-production box with 8 core 2 duo processors (16 cores)
    Development and test box with 2 single chip processors
    Development and test box with 4 single chip processors
    Development and test box with 6 single chip processors
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    regarding your questions:
    1. What is the difference between "TimesTen In-Memory Database" and
    "In-Memory Database Cache" in terms of features and licensing model?
    ==> Product has just been renamed and integrated better with the Oracle database - Times-Ten == In-Memory-Cache-Database
    2. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option integrated with Oracle 10g
    installable or a separate installable (i.e. TimesTen installable with only
    cache feature)?
    ==> Seperate Installation
    3. Is "In-Memory Database Cache" option same as that of "TimesTen Cache
    Connect to Oracle" option in TimesTen In-Memory Database?
    ==> Please have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/timesten/quickstart/cc_qs_index.html
    This explains the differences.
    4. After integrating "In-Memory Database Cache" option with Oracle 10g, data
    access will happen only through Oracle sqlplus or OCI calls. Am I right here
    in making this statement?
    ==> Please see above mentioned papers
    5. Is it possible to cache the result set of a join query in "In-Memory
    Database Cache"?
    ==> Again ... ;-)
    Kind regards
    Mike

  • Can't download Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition for Solaris 32 bit??

    I can't download Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition for Solaris 32 bit. After filling out the form with the questions...I click on the actual link, but the box never pops up.

  • How to find a datasheet for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition

    Hi all
    Can you please send me a link where to find datasheet for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, because when i navigate on www.oracle.com or www.otn.oracle.com or partners.oracle.com the only product which I can not find the Brochures and Datasheets link is ODBEE.
    If it is possible you can send me even the pdf document.
    Thank you and best regards

    Can you explain exactly what information you're looking for? There are many, many different things that could be called "data sheets". What information, specifically, are you trying to find about the enterprise edition database?
    Potentially, you are looking for the Oracle Database 11g Product Family which compares the features available in the various editions of the 11g database. Perhaps you want some other data sheet. If you can help us by telling us exactly what information you're trying to find, we can probably help you find it.

    h4. 11) History
    h4. 12) References
    h2. 1) Install Linux Ubuntu
    The following assumes you have installed Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop Edition for AMD 64-bit, or upgraded from a previous version. Keep in mind that Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition is only available for 64-bit architecture. It is not necessarily a requirement, but I would not bother to install Oracle 11gR2 XE on a system with less than 2 GB of RAM installed. You can download Ubuntu for free at: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu and install it using the default settings provided.
    You can apply the latest OS patch-sets by clicking the power button icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen and selecting "Updates available..."
    h2. 2) Remote Terminal
    You will need command line access to perform the installation tasks. Select the top "Dash Home" button of the Unity toolbar and enter the word "terminal", or use CTRL-ALT-t. If you prefer to open a remote terminal session use SSH. Ubuntu does not come with a secure shell login by default. To install it, use the following command:
    sudo apt-get install openssh-serverYou cannot login as root unless you set a root password using the "sudo passwd root" command. However, you can get root user access using the "sudo" command, which requires only to re-enter the password of your personal account. Access to "sudo" is controlled by the /etc/sudoers file.
    The best way to establish a remote command line session as root is to login with your personal account, e.g.: ssh [email protected], and then type "sudo su -" to become root, or use "sudo <command>" to execute individual commands. If your account does not have "sudo" access you can login as root using "su - root", but will need to know the root password.
    h2. 3) Install Additional Software
    Oracle 11g Express Edition requires additional software that is not installed by default:
    sudo apt-get install alien libaio1 unixodbch2. 4) Managing Swap Space
    Oracle demands that the minimum swap space for Oracle Database XE is 2 GB (2095100 KB) or twice the size of RAM, whichever is lesser. Enter the following shell command to verify your swap space:
    cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i swap
    SwapCached:            0 kB
    SwapTotal:       2095100 kB
    SwapFree:        2095100 kBYou can increase available swap space by using a swap file as long as disk space permits. The advantage of a swap file versus a swap partition is flexible space management because you can add or delete swap space on demand as necessary. The following will create and enable an additional 1 GB swap file at system startup, located in the /home directory:
    Login as root:
    sudo su -Enter the following commands:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024 count=1048576
    mkswap /home/swapfile
    swapon /home/swapfile
    swapon -aCreate a backup of the original "fstab" file and add the new swap file:
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup_`date +%N`
    echo '/home/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstabExit from root and verify the new swap space:
    exit
    swapon -s
    Filename                    Type          Size     Used     Priority
    /dev/sda5                               partition     2095100     0     -1
    /home/swapfile                          file          1048572     0     -2Swap space is not a substitute for installed RAM. Swap space is a safeguard that allows the system to move idle processes to disk before the OOM killer will begin to terminate processes in order to free up enough real memory to keep the system operational. The general rule for sizing the swap space depends on the size of installed RAM. If your system has less then 4 GB of RAM the swap space should usually be at least twice this size. If you have more than 8 GB of RAM installed you may consider to use an equal size as swap space. The more RAM you have installed, the less likely you are going to run into memory starvation, and the less likely you are going to need swap space, unless you have a bad process.
    h2. 5) Modify Kernel Parameters
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition requires the following Kernel parameters. Enter the commands exactly as shown:
    Login as root:
    sudo su -Cut & paste the following directly into a command shell (not a text editor):
    cat > /etc/sysctl.d/60-oracle.conf <<-EOF
    # Oracle 11g XE kernel parameters
    fs.file-max=6815744
    net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range=9000 65500
    kernel.sem=250 32000 100 128
    # kernel.shmmax=429496729
    kernel.shmmax=107374183
    EOFLoad and verify the new kernel parameters:
    service procps start
    sudo sysctl -q fs.file-max
    sudo sysctl -q kernel.shmmax
    sudo sysctl -q net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
    sudo sysctl -q kernel.sem The SHMMAX kernel parameter defines the upper memory limit of a process. It is a safeguard to stop a bad process from using all memory and causing RAM starvation. The Linux default is 32 MB. The official Oracle XE installation documentation suggests a value of 4 GB -1 bytes (429496729). Since Oracle 11g XE has a 1 GB memory limit, a smaller footprint will be a better safeguard for the complete system. Setting the SHMMAX parameter to 107374183 will be sufficient.
    h2. 6) Oracle Home Directory
    At the time of this writing, Enterprise Linux 6 is not supported for Oracle database yet. It is therefore not possible to confirm Oracle ext4 filesystem compatibility, which is default in Ubuntu 11. According to various information, ext4 may cause a performance problem for Oracle 11g database. The following will show you how to add a ext3 partition to your existing setup.
    h3. 6.a) Resize the Root Partition
    Provided you have sufficient free disk space, you should be able to resize the root partition to create an extra ext3 filesystem. Considering the 11 GB user datafile limit of the Express Edition, 18 GB should be more than enough.
    You can use the free Gparted Live CD to shrink your startup volume. Gparted downloads are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable. When burning the CD, pay attention to burn the raw .iso image and not the possibly "mounted" image. If you are using a virtual machine like Oracle Virtualbox, you can mount the .iso image directly. There are going to be a few prompts when the system starts from the CD, but you can press Return to accept the defaults.
    When the Gparted window appears:
    - Select your ext4 root partition, usually /dev/sda1
    - Select the "Resize/Move" button from the toolbar.
    - Enter 18000 into the "Free space following" field and press the Return key.
      Be careful not not change the start of the partition!
    - Click the "Resize/Move" of the dialog and then then the "Apply" toolbar button.
      The process may take several minutes - do not abandon it!
    - Select the new unallocated free space of ~ 18 GB and push the "New" button.
    - Set the file system to "ext3" and label it "oraclexe" and click the "Add" button.
      Be sure to label it oraclexe, otherwise the follow-up instructions will fail.
    - Finally select "Apply from the toolbar to apply the changes.
    - Quit "Gparted", select "Exit" from the desktop and choose "Reboot" to restart the system.
    {code}
    After the system has restarted, open a terminal command shell.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Backup "fstab" and add the UUID of the partition. The "tr" command remove the quotes:
    {code}
    cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_`date +%N`
    uuid=`blkid | grep oraclexe | awk '{print $3}'`
    uuid=`echo $uuid | tr -d '\042'`
    echo $uuid
    echo "$uuid  /u01  ext3  errors=remount-ro 0 1" >> /etc/fstab
    {code}
    The UUID is a unique number and should look similar to:
    {code}
    UUID=d1db753e-b5dd-4a4c-a61e-259c69867b58
    {code}
    Restart the system:
    {code}
    reboot
    {code}
    Verify the success:
    {code}
    df -h /u01
    {code}
    h3. 6.b) Setup External Storage
    If you prefer to setup an external drive to install Oracle XE, beware that it can be a fatal mistake to make an entry in /etc/fstab to automount your external storage device.  An unavailable device in /etc/fstab will prevent a system startup and prompt for appropriate actions at the console.
    The following is an example of how to prepare an external storage device to be used for Oracle 11g, including a script to automatically mount an external drive at system startup without the disadvantages of /etc/fstab. The script will also take into consideration that a device name might shift if you attach additional devices.
    To find out which USB devices are connected:
    {code}
    sudo parted -l
    {code}
    Look for the device that matches your USB storage. For example: /dev/sdb1
    {code}
    Model: USB 2.0 Flash Disk (scsi)
    Disk /dev/sdb: 2064MB
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
    Partition Table: gpt
    Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
    1      20.5kB  1929MB  1929MB  hfs+         mystick
    {code}
    Initialize the device using ext3 filesystem - this will erase all data. The "-c" option will check for bad blocks (read-only), "-L" is the volume label:
    {code}
    sudo umount /dev/sdb1
    sudo mkfs.ext3 -c -L oraclexe /dev/sdb1
    {code}
    Install the pmount distribution package:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install pmount
    {code}
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Cut & paste the following into the command prompt (not a text editor):
    {code}
    cat > /etc/init.d/oracle-mount <<-EOF
    #! /bin/sh
    # /etc/init.d/oracle-mount

    ls /u01
    sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-mount start
    ls /u01

    h2. 7) ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET
    Oracle 11gR2 XE under Ubuntu 11.10 will result in "ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not support on this system" either at Oracle database startup or during the initial installation. Ubuntu 11.10 uses a new version of the "systemd" system and session manager and has migrated away from /dev/shm and other common directories in favor of /run.
    There are several ways how to address the problem. You can either enable /dev/shm shared memory, or change the default memory management of Oracle 11g from AMM (Automatic Memory Management) to ASMM (Automatic Shared Memory Management) as it was in used the previous 10g version. Since AMM is one of the new features of 11g, the following will show you how to make to make AMM work.

    The upper limit of shared memory under Linux is set to 50 % of the installed RAM by default. If your system has less than 2 GB of RAM installed, there is still a chance to run into ORA-00845 error if your shared memory is used by other software.
    The verify available shared memory, type the following commands:
    {code}
    sudo df -h /run/shm
    {code}
    h2. 8) Installing Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition
    The final release version of Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition can be downloaded for free at http://otn.oracle.com/database/express-edition/downloads. The software should automatically downloaded into the "Downloads" folder of your home directory.
    Enter the following commands to unpack the installer:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads
    unzip oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
    rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm.zip
    {code}
    The Debian Linux based package management of Ubuntu is not compatible with the Red Hat package manager. The Oracle installer needs to be converted using the following commands:
    {code}
    cd ~/Downloads/Disk1
    sudo alien --to-deb --scripts oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
    (This may take a few minutes)
    rm oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
    {code}
    The following needs to be set for compatibility:
    {code}
    sudo ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
    sudo mkdir /var/lock/subsys
    {code}
    Ubuntu uses different tools to manage services and system startup scripts. The "chkconfig" tool required by the Oracle installer is not available in Ubuntu. The following will create a file to simulate the "chkconfig" tool.
    Login as root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Copy & paste the following *directly* into the command prompt to create a file:
    {code}
    cat > /sbin/chkconfig <<-EOF
    #!/bin/bash

    h2. 9) Post-Installation
    In order to use sqlplus and other tools, the Oracle account requires specific environment variables. The following will set these variables automatically at every Oracle login:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Copy the default account skeleton files and add the Oracle env script to .profile:
    {code}
    cp /etc/skel/.bash_logout ./
    cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ./
    cp /etc/skel/.profile ./
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
    {code}
    By default, the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface is only available at the local server, but not remotely. The following will enable remote logins:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and execute the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);
    exit
    {code}
    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/admin.112/e18585/toc.htm for more information.
    h3. a) Unity desktop configurations
    The Oracle XE menu under the previous Gnome Classic desktop shows several useful scripts to backup the database, start and stop the database, etc. Under the Unity based desktop this menu is not available. You can either switch to the Gnome Classic desktop as outlined in chapter 2, or perform the following steps to modify and copy the scripts as outlined below. The start and stop database scripts will also be modified to perform a progress feedback.
    Login as user root:
    {code}
    sudo su -
    {code}
    Convert desktop files:
    {code}
    cd /usr/share/applications
    sed -i 's/Categories.*/Categories=Database;Office;Development;/g' oraclexe*
    sed -i 's/MultipleArgs/X-MultipleArgs/g' oraclexe*

    exit
    {code}
    Login as user Oracle:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Modify database start and stop scripts:
    {code}
    cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts
    cp startdb.sh start.sh_orig
    cp stopdb.sh stopdb.sh_orig
    sed -i 's/>.*//g' startdb.sh
    sed -i 's/>.*//g' stopdb.sh
    {code}
    You will need SYSDBA privileges and set Oracle environment variables in order to use your regular user account.
    Login to your regular user account:
    {code}
    su - dude
    {code}
    Enter the folowing command:
    {code}
    sudo usermod -a -G dba dude
    {code}
    Then update your profile to automatically set the necessary Oracle environment variables:
    {code}
    echo "" >>./.profile
    echo '. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh' >>./.profile
    {code}
    Update your Desktop folder to contain useful Oracle XE scripts:
    {code}
    cp /usr/share/applications/oraclexe* ~/Desktop
    chmod 750 ~/Desktop/oraclexe*
    {code}
    To verify success re-login and try "sqlplus":
    {code}
    su - oracle
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    {code}
    h2. 10) Tips and Troubleshooting
    h3. 10. a) Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application
    Error: Port 1521 appears to be in use by another application. Specify a different port.This error happens after a previously unsuccessful configuration attempt using /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure script. The script was able to start the Listener process, but most likely failed to continue  to clone the database, e.g. ORA-00845. The following should correct the problem:
    Determine the oracle listener process that is already running:
    {code}
    $ ps -ef | grep oracle
    {code}
    Your output should be similar to:
    {code}
    oracle   19789     1  0 19:46 ?        00:00:00 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/tnslsnr
    {code}
    Then kill the process, using the appropriate process id, for instance:
    {code}
    $ sudo kill -9 19789
    {code}

    h3. 10.d) Apex ADMIN password
    According to the Oracle documentation, the password for the INTERNAL and ADMIN Oracle Application Express user accounts is initially the same as the SYS and SYSTEM administrative user accounts. Well, I tried several times without success. To reset the Apex Admin password:
    Login as user oracle:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    {code}
    At the SQL prompt, type the following to be prompted to change the password:
    {code}
    SQL> @?/apex/apxxepwd.sql
    exit
    {code}
    When done, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    Workspace: Internal
    Username: ADMIN
    Password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
    I will prompt you to reset the password:
    old password: password you set with apxxepwd.sql
    new password: final_password
    You can also login as the Apex Admin using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
    h3. 10.e) SYS and SYSTEM password
    Use the following commands to reset the SYS and SYSTEM passwords if necessary:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following at the SQL prompt:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
    SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;

    h3. 10.h) Gnome Classic desktop
    Ubuntu 11 moved from the Gnome Classic desktop to Unity and removed the "Ubuntu Classic" login option. Unity was designed to make more efficient use of space given a limited screen size and touch screens. If you prefer to use the Gnome Classic desktop, enter the following into a terminal window:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
    {code}
    To log into the Gnome Classic desktop, select the "Gearwheel" at the login screen and select "Gnome Classic".
    h3. 10.i) Unix vi cursor keys
    The instructions in this tutorial do not require the use of any text editor. However, if you would like use the backspace and cursor keys in the "vi-editor", the following needs to be installed:
    {code}
    sudo apt-get install vim
    {code}
    h3. 10.j) Backup Database
    In order to perform an online database backup using the supplied "Backup Database" script, the database needs to run in Archive-Log mode. This can be setup using the following commands:
    Login as the Oracle user:
    {code}
    su - oracle
    {code}
    Login as SYSDBA and type the following:
    {code}
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> shutdown immediate
    SQL> startup mount
    SQL> alter database archivelog;
    SQL> alter database open;
    SQL> exit
    {code}

    Excellent Blog. Thank You
    Small clarification on Step **6) Oracle Home Directory, ...a) Resize the Root Partition**
    Ubuntu 11.10 has Gparted available as a Ubuntu software download, DONT use that while trying the above step, instead download the ISO file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted-live-stable/ gparted-live-0.12.0-5.iso (124.6 MB)
    Burn that ISO file on a Blank DVD, reboot the Ubuntu , during startup select Boot from DVD Option if not already selected. this will take to Boot Menu Options of Gparted Live then select the first menu option, and this allows to do further action such as Re-sizing .
    and once you have chosen and executed step a) . do NOT run step b) also that is "Setup External Storage"
    I hope this minor clarification can avoid some confusion

    What features are missing in Standard edition compared to the Enterprise edition?

    If you closely read the license under which developers can
    download this for free, you'll see that the answer is "no".
    It's not a trial version, it's a license allowing developers free
    access for development purposes only.
    You should always closely read all license agreements which apply
    to software you download, whether for free or for money.

  • Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6

    I’m a naïve user in Oracle and would like to know the following details from the Gurus.
    Any information in this regard will be highly appreciated !
    We are trying to use Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6 for some specific reason.
    Some general doubts regarding the installation.
    1.     Is any installation specific to the OS language (English/Japanese) ?
    2.     Say, if I get an installation for Windows, would I be able to use the same for a Japanese Windows version?
    3.     During the installation, choose the default language as Japanese?
    Also, if we would need to install Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6 in a Japanese OS, what should we do?
    Can we procure a license for the same? Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6
    Can we get the media?
    Please advice. Many thanks in advance.

    The best way to arrange this is to contact Oracle sales and talk very nice to them.
    You are asking to have someone provide you with a piece of software that was very full of bugs and made obsolete before year 2000. Oracle will probably not be very happy to do that.
    Besides, Oracle is so upward compatible that - unless you depend on the bugs - you should be able to use any currently supported version. Such as Oracle9i or Oracle10g.

  • Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition user license in Standard Edition

    Hi,
    If I purchase Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition license (user or processor), and somehow if I decedided to downgrade the server from Enterprise Edition to Standard Edition, is these license still valid to apply to the Standard Edition server??
    Thanks

    I'm sure Oracle would have no objection to you using a less expensive version, but you may want to run that question by your Oracle sales rep to see if there is a notification requirement.
    Whether there would be an opportunity to get some level of refund, though, would be a question for your Oracle sales rep. I would tend to doubt it but you never know.
