Do I need to install oracle 8i or 9i Please help

Hi,
I am a newbie to Redhat linux and Oracle. I have Redhat 9.0 installed on my machine. Now I have a doubt whether to install Oracle 9i or 8i. Some of my friends told me that Oracle 8i is very easier to configure than Oracle 9i. I think I am not fit for a tough configuration as I am a newbie. This is true? Is Oracle 9i is very difficult to configure than Oracle 8i? My aim is to get familiar with the Oracle and its all the features and to seriously play around with the good features of Oracle. So should I go for Oracle 9i? As I am a newbie, Is it nessessary to go for Oracle 9i?
Please help me . I am waiting for your answer to get proceed with the Installation.
Lot of Thanks in Advance.
Waiting for your respondse.
Bye
Thanks and Regards
Emmanuel mathew

Hi,
unfortunately you will have more general problems. Neither 8i nor 9i is certified for Red Hat 9. The certification matrix shows support for Red Hat 7.0 and 7.1 (9i) and for Red Hat 7.0/7.1/6.x (8i). That does not necessarily mean, it won't work at all, but Oracle doesn't give any support. In general, you should prefer 9i, you have much more options. If you perform, as a first step, a standard installation, it's not harder than an 8i installation.
Good luck
Werner

  • Err when installing Oracle on solaris (URGENT) please help

    while installing 10g database on solaris i am finding the following error
    " ./runinstaller : line 56: /root/desktop/database/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file

    Have you carefully followed the installation documents of your OS specific?
    $ uname -a
    By the way, Oracle has a good "Quick Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit)". Don't miss any pre-requisite steps. I have followed the same documentation to install and configure Oracle Database 10g on Solaris 5.10 - SPARC Machine.

  • Do I need to install oracle database 10gr2 before installing Oracle applica

    I am new to Oracle application server. I am going to install Oracle application server 10g. From what I read, it looks like I need to install oracle database 10gR2 first on the SAME server? Is that correct?
    If I do so, oracle_home will be point to where? to the Oracle application server home directory, or oracle db directory?
    Thank you very much for you help.

    hi,
    Even i am new to oracle application server and had the same doubt that you have.
    When you install Application Server there would be two tiers installed, application tier and middle tier, these tiers can be running from the same machine or different machines.
    These tiers will have a meta data repository to store application server related data, this database will be installed along with application server.
    It is upto you to install "oracle database 10gR2 " before or after installaion of application server, this will be an independent database which will have its own home, but after this installation you will have three homes, ex: infra_home,mid_home and 10gR2_home.
    by default oracle_home is set to the last installation that happens so if you install the database 10gR2 after installing application server it will point to 10gR2_home, but if you install 10gR2 before and application server later then the oracle home will be infra_home(if both the middle tier and infratier are on the same machine)
    you can always change the oracle home by using set ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home( in windows)
    or export ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home (in unix)
    hope this helps....
    regards

  • Need to install oracle application server

    i need to install oracle application server. so plz tell me how can i do this ,and i dont know about the oracle application server achitechture.
    plz provide some links ..so that i can understand
    developers are asking me to install oc4j container

    There are installations guides for the various Oracle Application Server offerings. So my first suggestion would be to have a look around relevant documentation section of OTN and see what you can learn.
    As you've mentioned OC4J, that does indicate you are looking at Oracle Application Server 10g:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver10132.html
    If you are looking for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, then this is the main page to start from:

    You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

    Hold on,
    Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
    What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
    Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
    Backup in iTunes
    Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
    Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
    Wait for unlock notification.
    Restore the backup.
