Can I install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Professional

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have Windows 2000 professional edition loaded on my PC and I'm not sure what it allows. Can I load Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition of the database on this operating system, or do I need to load windows 2000 server software.
Thanks

Its a problem with oracle and pentium 4 processors actually. The solution involves renaming or deleting the symcjit.dll in the 8i installation package after you've copied the whole Cd onto your HDD!
I've tried this and it install OK, with a few errors along the way, now I can't get the apache server working, nor on the 9i AS that I've installed as well. Let me know if you get anything useful please?

Unable to install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on a Dell Dimension 4400

I just bought a Dell Dimension 4400 computer. I tried many times to install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on it. My operating system is Windows XP Professional. It seems nothing to do with the Operating system because I installed the database on a HP computer with Windows XP professional. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

There are many documented issues regarding P4 processors with [OUI] Oracle Universal Installer for Oracle 8.1.x
Oracle Metalink has some recommended patches and etc but I can only comment what is working for me. Keep in mind I only install these clients, I don't work on databases that actually use them. So if there is another piece that is dependant on the java version shipped with the cd, this may not solve everything.
Workaround #1 [To install and be able to run OUI at a later time]
1.) Install the Sun Java Runtime 1.2.2.11 [http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/jre/download-windows.html].
a) Make sure that the system path enviroment (Properties of My Computer, not inside a cmd window) has c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2\bin and c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.2\bin\classic before any Oracle related path. Don't have any other JRE in the path.
2.) Copy the cd to a network source or local directory and do a search for all "symcjit.dll" and rename "symcjit.old"
3.) Run the installer, this should install the client
Workaround #2 [Just to install.. not for mass deployment]
If you have access to an Oracle 9i CD, use the OUI 2 installer that comes with that and redirect the "source" to where your 8.1.7 client is.

Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on Pentium4

I have Pentium4 with 256MB SDRAM and Windows 2000 server installed on it. I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition but the setup doesn't run at all.
Is this a problem of O.S. or the processor?

I'm not Oracle support however I had the same issue and this is what I found.
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal Installer (8.1.x) on machines, the installer hangs.
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these tools with
"-nojit" specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify "-nojit" for some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard disk, say,
e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a relative path. (i.e.,JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a relative path. (i.e.,OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the first
argument. (i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard drive
(i.e.,e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since the
absolute locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will not be
launched during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and there is
no way to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration Assistant if it hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been successful, and you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for the most recent JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually. NOTE: the OUI itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one with the most recent date, which should be the jre process being used for Net8CA, not the one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through the installation to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the configuration tools to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the Start Menu.

1) There is no developer edition in Oracle. If you are 3 developers and will be developing on your own databases, you can buy 3 personal editions(same as enterprise edition) OR you can buy an user based enterprise edition for test environment. I believe minimum you need is 10 user based licenses. Also, if you think that you are not using any enterprise features, you can always go for user based standard edition which will be much cheaper as compare to enterprise.
2) You can find some Oracle partners who sells the licenses. Sometime they give you a good discount. I personally do not think Oracle will give you enough discount for these small number of licenses.

Try remove installed JRE1.1.8 BEFORE installation of Oracle. May be it can't remove old installation.
PS Check downloaded distrib - some jars may be spoiled.

Enter a different Oracle Home in the first screen of the Universal Installer, with a different directory, and it should work.

Installation Questions Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition

We are looking to install Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition and have the following installation questions:
When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?

When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
The typical installation scenario is to have 3 tiers - application (WAS), application (Documaker), and data. WAS tiers host web applications (Dashboard, Administrator, Interactive) as well as providing database connection pools and JMS queues for messaging - it is expected that the WAS environment is a clustered environment and that the applications are deployed to the cluster members, which can be physical or virtual. For the Documaker application server, these can be physical or virtual as well. It's recommended to install Documaker on single-purposes environments, however there's nothing to prevent you from doing otherwise. The Documaker applications are self-contained JVMs and can be tuned accordingly.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
The installation process (currently) writes the scripts according to responses provided during the installation process. The scripts can be reviewed/modified prior to execution.
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?
The official supported version of WAS is 7.0.0.27, however WAS 8.5 may be suitable (I believe there might be a fix pack requirement there - would recommend you submit a question to Oracle Support for verification).

Slow updations (Oracle 11g 64 bit enterprise edition on Linux RHEL)

I have created Following table for profiling updates per second in Oracle Database
Test(RecordId number,Desciption varchar2(2000) //Btree Index on record id only
Table has 10000 records only.
I did updation for every record in loop by follwing query(Stored procedure executed on same server where database exists no network is coming in picture)
update Test set description = description + 'something' where Recordid = i (loop counter)//existing description has 1000 characters
I am wondering that updation of only 10000 records was taking 100 Seconds.
I was expecting atlease 1000 records/second but it is 100 record/second
Can anyone help to correct me and tell how can we improve database updations?
Processor Dual proc dual core
Raid with reading speed 2.5Gbps
OS : Linux RHEL
Database:Oracle enterprise edition 64 bit.
sga_max_size = 1.5 GB
Any help will be highly appreciated.

You are running a loop but Oracle will give you read consistency.
Oracle is probably cloning some of the datablocks as it re-reads them because
it finds that the block has been previously updated.
That sort of a loop is absolutely the wrong way to test Oracle.
