Oracle 8i for Linux is here!

Looks like 8i for Linux is here. Check the download link on the
left of this page. I ordered a CD a while back, but got an NT
version. Anyone know if Oracle intends to send out the 8i/Linux
CD to those that asked for it (during the EAP window)?

I had an Alpha I wanted to install 8i on under Linux, but at
this point it only supports Linux on an Intel box. You may want
to check the migration path to see if Oracle plans to port to a
Power-PC

NO, it will not work. You cannot even install since the installer
for Solaris is a Solaris binary and some windows exe also does
not work. I guess somebody has to write a better bootstrap proggy
first...
I wonder why they did it that way...

8.1.6 install - Oracle 8i for Linux

I'm trying to install the Oracle 8i for Linux installation kit from the Osborne book.
You can stop laughing now.
Really, we're going to buy the full deal, but until that happens, we want to get a bit of a headstart. I'm using Hummingbird eXceed v6.2.0.0 as my X server; everything works fine except when I get to the second page of the installer, and NONE of the buttons at the bottom of the installer page (Next, etc.) appear.
Any ideas, folks?

Oh, duh, fvwm.

Problems downloading Oracle 8i for Linux

I'm having troubles in downloading Oracle 8i for Linux (Red Hat 6.2).
I'm using GetRight for the 280 MB of the download. It get connected and logged , but when it try to retrieve the file, no response from the server. It seems as a lack of capacity of the ftp server.
Does anybody know if there is a mirror site of Oracle? Or any other solution?
Thanks

Oracle 8i for Linux Campaign

Hello,
a customer of ours in Germany said that he "won" an Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition for Linux CD. He believes this campaign was organised and conducted in the 3Q in 1999.
I told him this is a trial CD and he is entitled to a 30 day license but he insists that this is a normal product. Can anyone remember this campaign and further details.
Thanks and regards
Christopher

How to reconfigure Oracle-xe (Oracle 10g for linux)?

Hello!
I found this article (seems useful since I use Mandriva 2010.2):
[http://www.e-angel.net/index.php?tg=articles&idx=Print&topics=195&article=912|http://www.e-angel.net/index.php?tg=articles&idx=Print&topics=195&article=912]
I installed Oracle 10g from the file "oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm".
Then, when run ./oracle-xe start and then ./oracle-xe status I get:
LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on 29-JUL-2011 23:39:49

TNS-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00515: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
It does not seem ok to me.
I would love to truy to reconfigure it but if I try the command:
./oracle-xe configure
...I get:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured
Does any body know how to reset and reconfigure Oracle 10g for Linux?
Best regards
Fredrik

it seems to be "PLSExtProc" bu default.Nope, the ORACLE_SID is taken from the environment variable when the database is started on a *nix host, windows its set up in the database service. If you want to change the ORACLE_SID, set it. See the environment setup script in OH/bin appropriate for your shell. (OH short for $ORACLE_HOME)

Will there be Oracle 8i for Linux?

Does anyone know if there will there be Oracle 8i for Linux?
This would be wonderful as my company's decision to offer system

I am told my my rep that 8i for Linux will be in the "sooner"
category rather than "later." He's expecting it sometime this
quarter.

Whether the Oracle 8i for linux is free for business purpose?

if we implement an application with Oracle 8i for linux.And the we will sell the application. whether we must pay the Oracle 8i for linux?

I think the oracle so called their datebase can't use to profit include two perspect:
First, you can't use oracle for linux in bussiness directly.Such as a compnay use oracle on linux as his database platform.
second, you can't use oracle for linux as development platform or run platform and you product used for bussiness perpose.
The above two item certainly uner unauthorized conditions. If you get authorized oracle on linux,you can use it as you want.

Download Oracle EE for Linux

I am trying to download Oracle EE for Linux and I am getting only 3MB file. I guess it supposed to be 168 MB. Anybody is having any suggestion?. Appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The only solution that works for me anymore is wget. I start by trying to download it through Netscape in order to get the URL for the download and then use wget. It includes arguments to specify a user ID and password so that Oracle's server can authenticate you and it has the capability of resuming a download if it gets interrupted. Otherwise, buy a CD pack from the Oracle store. It only costs about $50 and includes a lot more than you can download.

Oracle 8i for Linux Starter Kit

Hello,
Need an Oracle God to help me with 8i for linux!
I am would like to learn about oracle database software. Just purchased the Starter Kit that includes 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition. Now I have done some research on the install for this and found out that it is very difficult. I tried to cookbook together the install from various posts/oracle web site/etc. I was successful in getting it to install, but could not get the stubs patch to install.
I now have a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0. No changes have been made to glibc.
First question is where to get the correct glibc rpm to keep the installer from crashing, and from causing other problems to my system. MandrakeUpdate was smoking crack and fetching a different file for glibc 2.2.2-5, then it said that it would conflict with gcc or something like that. I want to make sure I am getting the appropriate
files.
Second, on page 19 of the book, I do ok until it comes to setting the environment variables. Am I supposed to login as my Oracle user, an type '$HOME/.bash_profile' to set these variables? This relates to the problem with the stubs patch saying that ORACLE_HOME was not in the environment.
Third, I am using this link to get to the stubs file.
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle8i/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
My plan is this.
1. Update the appropriate glibc rpm to allow the installer to run.
2. Install Oracle based on the books instruction verbatim.
3. Do not install the educational database. First install the stubs as above.
Questions.
Will a custom install allow me to keep the installer from attempting the database?
Once the stubs are installed, where is dbassist located to install the database after the fact?
Please Please help me with this situation. I would really like to learn databases, Oracle in particular. If this does not work, I doubt that I can return the book, considering the cd is open.
Thanks in advance for any kind assistance.

Here is a mini update since my last post...
ok, by updating my glibc stuffs from 2.2.2-4 to 2.2.2-5 I am able to get the runinstaller to work (it echos a bunch of 'map failed' in the console though I wonder if there is something wrong with that)... however since I am only doing now at work I can only try to install on my laptop which is does not have enough HD space. I am down to 230M left and there is no way it will install so I will try it again on my PC after I go home today. Btw, here are the files that I have updated:
glibc-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-profile-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
ldconfig-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
nscd-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
You can get these from any mirror sites I think. Or run your MandrakeUpdate under the Config/Packaging menu (you need to select a mirror site by clicking mirror site update).
As for the SRPMS/glibc-2.2.2-5mdk.src.rpm...
I can't find this file in any of the mirror site.
However, now I am facing another issue. I tried the "echo $ORACLE_HOME" as suggested but it returns me with an empty line same as I try a make up env like "echo $dafadas"... so does this means that it is not reading the ORACLE_HOME in my .bash_profile in the oracle account? I also notice that even I did all the same procedures, while in RH6.2 the oracle install path is my $ORACLE_HOME, in Mandrake8 the path is /home/oracle/OraHome1? I stopped at this step and didn't go forward because 1, there is not enough HD space to continue and 2, I am not sure that the path is correct. If anyone reached this state and went beyond please let me know if I am on the right track or not...
P.S. I remember doing that same thing about not installing the database during the installation for oracle 8.0.5; however, I couldn't access to the database even using my oracle account later on. I don't know if that is a permission problem or something like that.
Thanks in advance
