Dropping oracle 8i database on sun solaris platform

greetings
i have an oracle 8.1.7 database sitting on a sun solaris 8 server that i have to drop. can anyone give me the steps involved?

On unix database don't depend on any kind of OS service. It don't register it self in registry. So droping the database on any UNIX flaver is very simple, just delete all the database files, Redolog files,control file,spfile,password file
You can find the datafiles dba_data_files, v$datafile
Redolog v$logfiles
controlfiles v$controlfiles

  • Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8

    Hey,
    Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.

    I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

  • Oracle 9i RAC on Sun Solaris 5.10/64 bit version.Is that supported ?

    I want to install Oracle 9i RAC on Sun Solaris 10 64 bit. Is that officially supported ?
    I dont this combination on metalink certify matrix

    I know we dont get support from oracle.But, you initially mentioned that you couldn't find the required information on metalink, therefore I provided that information, which I thought you were looking for.
    Is anybody still using this combination ? Does it work ? yes, we are using it and it has been working fine for over 4 years...of course we patched it to the latest - 9.2.0.8 to be on the supported release/patch.

  • How to restore a Oracle 9i Backup from Sun Solaris to Linux

  • Oracle 11g R2 for Sun Solaris???

    When will be release the version for Sun Solaris?
    Is there any way to check the release date for each Oracle version? (e.g. 10.2, 11.1, etc)

    What you download from the freely available site,and what is the current version with patches applied is often a different thing.
    The freely available 'for learning and prototyping' downloads (from the site you mention) are NOT updated to a new patch level. (If necessary, they may be revised to fix bugs that stop them for being installed, but they keep the same point level.)
    If a version of the OS is released after the s/w has been made available, and there are problems installing or using that combination, Oracle MAY decide to fix, apply patch set and and make available the s/w for that specific OS.
    And if you are waiting for 11.2 because you don't have Support and can't get 11.1.0.7 patch, then I express concern for your management's approach. Missing CPUs and other patches is not a good idea for production.

  • ZFS Snapshots/ZFS Clones of Database on sun/solaris

    Our production database is on Sun/Solaris 10 (SunOS odin 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise) with oracle 10.1.0 . It is about 1TB in size. We have also created our MOCK and DEVELOPMENT databases from the Production database. To save disk space, we created these databases as ZFS Snapshots/ZFS Clones at the OS level and are using less than 10GB each being clones as on now. Now I want to upgrade the production database from oracle 10.1 to 11.2 but I don't want to upgrade the MOCK and DEVELOPMENT databases for the time being and want them to continue to run as clones on 10.1. After upgrade, Prod will run from 11g oracle tree one one machine and MOCK/DEVL on 10g tree on another machine. Will the upgrade of Production from 10.1 to 11.2 INVALIDATE the cloned MOCK and DEVELOPMENT databases?? There might be data types/features in 11g which do not exist in 10g.
    Below are the links to the documentation we used to create the snapshots.

    Hi,
    The mentioned links in the post is not working.
    I would suggest u to raise an Official S.R. with http://support.oracle.com prior upgrading your database.
    Also you can try this out with 10g db installation on TEST machine and create databases as ZFS Snapshots/ZFS Clones at the OS level for MOCK. Then upgrade the 10g database and test it.

  • DO I need SFRAC for Oracle 10g RAC  on Sun Solaris

    My platform is SUN Solaris 10 64 bit on v490 server. On the backend side, we are using EMC CX500 storage. We will use Veritas File system and Veritas CFS.
    I would like to ask, Do I must need SFRAC to configure Oracle 10g RAC or Can I just use only Oracle CRS. I do not want to use ASM.
    Please advise
    Thanks,
    Sam..

    The VCFS usually requires a Veritas Cluster, thus you would have to use the product combination that is bundled as SFRAC as mentioned before. Metalink in addition says:
    10      10gR2 64-bit      Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC      5.0      Certified
    There is one exception to this rule: Linux.
    Veritas and Oracle support a standalone version of the Veritas Cluster Files System (and only this component) on Linux. This does not hold true for Solaris.
    Concluding, if you want to use the VCFS you would need to get a VCS, which then basically means using SFRAC.
    However, in this case, as mentioned before, you would not need ASM.

  • Migrate Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Sun solaris to RHE Linux 32 bit.

    We are migrating the Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Solaris two node to Linux two node including the database Oracle 10.2.04 64 bit.
    Since the applications only support 32 bit we are not able to store CM tier in a 64 bit Linux so with this considerations we are going with the below plan.
    1. Install RHEL 5 as a 32 bit for two nodes ( One for DB/CM and FORMS/WEB)
    2. Migrate the applications and DB from Solaris to Linux as the same node configuration that is
    Node A:
    Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 64 bit ( SUN oS 10 64bit) -> Oracle 10.2.0.5 32bit (RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Oracle Apps CM 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10 64bit) -> Oracle apps CM 32 bit(RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Node B:
    Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms (sun OS 10) -> Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms ( RHEL 5 32bit)
    Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10) -> Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 ( RHEL 5 32 bit).
    Question : 1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migration
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux

    Hi,
    1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migrationWhy would you downgrade the db from 64 bit to 32 bit. As 32 Bit has lot of memory limitations.
    You could keep the database on 64 bit for linux too.
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux Please see
