Oracle 10g x86 vs x64

Hi There,
I've been asked by an end user if there is significant improvements to using Oracle 10g x64 over oracle 10g x86. While in theory x64 should run better is this categorically true?

Hello again Dude.
The shared storage is configured fairly benignly. The iSCSI volume is configured via YaST and, after establishing a connection, the device shows up as a drive in the system i.e. /dev/sdx.
The storage was formatted as an ext3 filesystem using fdisk. Afterward, it was mounted to /opt/oracle/product using the following command:
mount /dev/sdb1 /opt/oracle/product
To ensure the database, once installed, would be available, a corresponding entry was added to /etc/fstab .
Before I began the Oracle installation, I was sure to perform the following as root after the mount:
chown -R oracle:oinstall /opt/oracle/product
chmod -R 775 /opt/oracle/product
Checking the ownership and permissions were the first thing I did after noticing the permissions issues during the linking phase.
I understand what you are getting at here Dude- to eliminate the possibility of write failures on the shared storage, I unmounted the /opt/oracle/product directory, reverting back to local. After unmounting, I verified that the permissions on the product folder were drwr-xr-x and the owner was oracle:oinstall.
The next attempt at installation was successful. The issue was due to the shared storage permissions. Dude, you've earned yourself a Caucasian!
Thanks for the help: I am off to determine why the linking phase fails when installing to the shared storage.
Cheers!
Greg

Is there a version of Oracle 10g Express Edition x64?

Is there a version of Oracle 10g Express Edition x64?
I'm looking for a 64bit version of Oracle 10g XE, because I use windows 7 x64 and to have no disadvantages ODBC drivers I would get that version.
Is there a 64bit version?

1) There's currently no XE 64bit
2) there's currently NO Oracle software for Windows 7 at all

Hi
You need perform a heterogeneus system copy with sapinst
Chose the sap system->Software Life-Cycle options->system copy->database
And perform in tree steps
export preparation
table splitting preparation
database istance export
It create a export database, and with the sapinst you import in Target system

Oracle 10g and Windows 2008

I'm trying to install Oracle 10g x86 on Windows 2008 x64. Installation crashes in the beginning with the next error message:
Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occurred. Please provide the following files to Oracle Support:
"Unknown"
"Unknown"
"Unknown"
Any objections?

What do you mean when you say "I'm trying to install Oracle 10g x86 on Windows 2008 x64" You are trying to install an x86 Oracle edition on a 64 bit OS. This is not certified yet. In fact if you take a look at the certify matrix you will find that the 64 bit platform is not certified yet, but it is planned for this year.
The only available edition so far for Win2008 is x86. Patience is advisable.

ORACLE 10g on Windows 7 x86 & x64

Hi
Hope I'm posting this in to the right place.
I need to install ORACLE 10g (Standard or Personal NOT Express) on Windows 7 x64(my desktop) and x86(my laptop).
As far as I know Windows 7 is not one of the officially supported OS but is there any way to bypass this and install ORACLE?
If 10g cannot be installed, 11g would also be good.
Any answer is much appreciated.
Thanks

PROB SOLVED ... I think and hope
Used recommendation from forum (which they said they got from Oracle forums somewhere), which entails doing following:
1. Do NOT use compatibility mode on the setup.exe, or else it will still fail
2. in CMD window, running it as Administrator, run the setup using following command
..... setup.exe -ignoreSysPrereqs
3. For me, this ran the install normally - except after Oracle checked compatibility itself, it showed an exception saying that it wasn't certified for Vista SP1 (?!). Check that box (and then Oracle will say that the User has agreed, or certified, or something).
4. After that, continue as usual.
Because I was in the situation of using DHCP, it also had a warning that I should setup the Microsoft Loopback Adapter. Haven't managed to do that because I'm still struggling with the changed 'user friendly' interface in Win7 which hides even more essential system management capabilities (like adding a device that the OpSys can't find itself, and not allowing me to specify what I want ...@#$@!!#$#@@%%$*&^x!)
Regardless the blank DB environment (not loaded mine yet) appears to work fine.
Hope this info helps others.

Oracle 10G installation problem, and errors on SOLARIS 10 x86

HI.
I installed the last version of oracle 10g on a x86 SOLARIS 10 system.
When the installer arrived at Configuration assistants, the window is stopping, and I can't see forward. But when I look at the installAction.log, the installation is checked as OK (?).
When I launch sqlplus, and startup inside, it is said the ora-00205 error (problem with control files), and in the end, I'm really suprised there's no the database I told the installer to create at the beginning. But should I be surprised? As I didn't see really the end of the installation, and the installer didn't propose me the PATH where to install the DB, well, I guess there's something wrong.
Could anybody tell me how to solve these problems, please?
Thank you :)

Two options:
1. Create database using DBCA - execute $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca
2. Create database manually (without DBCA)

Oracle 10g on Solaris 5.10 x86

Hi,
I just tried installing oracle 10g(10.2.0.1) on my new machine(Sun solaris 10 x86) Intel 915 GAG with 512 RAM and 120GB SATA drive.
After I started running ./runInstaller the following message came on console......
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6 , 5.7 ,5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10
Failed <<
I think , if Oracle 10g is not yet certified to run on solaris 10x86.
Please help me to proceed.
Regards
Deepak

you have to try this:
start ./runInstaller with option -ignoreSysPrereqs;
you have also to choose: 'Do not create a starter database' by intallation;
I think this will help you.

I can't install Oracle 10g Client in x86-64(Intel EM64T)

Dear All,
Recently, I tried to install the Oracle 10g client in Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.0 with x86-64 (Intel EM64T) platform. As I know,that is either Oracle 9i or Oracle 10g has been certified to Redhat AS 3.0 operating system.
How can I install Oracle 10g normally under all x86-64 platforms? Or, When does Oracle to release out the patch for all x86-64 versions?

Please reffer to Installation section.

Can I run 32 bit version of Oracle 10g grid on Linux x86-64?

Since Oracle did not release 64 bit version of Oracle 10g grid for Linux X86-64. Can I run 32 bit version of Oracle 10g grid on Linux x86-64? If so did anyone tried this? and also any known issues?

All I had to do was use the 32bit version of "/usr/bin/gcc" and "/usr/bin/g++" to run the installation
That is:
bin]# cp -p /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc_old
bin]# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
mv: overwrite `/usr/bin/gcc323'? y
bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
bin]# cp -p /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++_old
bin]# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
mv: overwrite `/usr/bin/g++323'? y
bin]# ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
AFTER INSTALLATION REMEMBER TO
move back the 64bit files to their former state.
bin]#rm /usr/bin/g++
bin]#rm /usr/bin/gcc
bin]#mv /usr/bin/gcc_old /usr/bin/gcc
bin]#mv /usr/bin/g++_old /usr/bin/g++

Oracle 10g R 10.2 for Linux x86-64 - /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock problem

Hi All,
During installation - Oracle Database Configuration Assistance, I have got below error and thus I stuck. As per Metalink note 293988.1, this will be resolved if I do [root@localhos]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock . But problem is when I do this because I dont have /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock file in my system, it giving ¨bash: /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock: No such file or directory¨ error. So I am unable to get rid of this error. I also set SELinux Default and Current mode as permissible and rebooted it.
No use, Its giving same error.

From what I can gather form your post, the ORA-27125: Unable to create shared memory segment is probably the result of:
a) not enough physical memory available.
b) /dev/shm not configured properly.
c) kernel parameters are not set according to Oracle requirements.
Since this is happening during the installation of Oracle I suggest to check the SHMMAX kernel parameter. This is all mentioned in the pre-installation steps. Oracle 11g will actually check these kernel parameters prior to installing. Not sure about 10g now, which you are trying to install.
The most common, easiest way to prepare the system for Oracle RDBMS is to install the "oracle-validated" package. If you don't have access to ULN, you can setup public yum.
http://public-yum.oracle.com/ Then you can simply type as the root user: yum install oracle-validated

Oracle forms 10g 32bit with Oracle 10g database on windows itanium for x64

Hi.....
Currently we are planning to have this configuration
1. Oracle10g RAC on HP rx6600 with windows itanium for x64 architecture
2. Oracle Application Server (32-bit) on windows 2003 (forms & reports services)
3. Application migrated from 6i to 10g
I have to things to ask about?
1.Will it be ok to connect from an application compiled with _(32-bit)_ 10g forms to a x64_ platform without problems ?
2. Can we connect forms and reports of developer 6i +(32-bit)+ to 10g RAC on x64_ platform if the character set is not UTF8 ?

1.Will it be ok to connect from an application compiled with (32-bit) 10g forms to a x64 platform without problems ?I did this also. A 32bit Oracle Form(10gR2) on Linux and a 64 bit (10gR2) database. And this works without a problem. Since you didn't mentioned your versions I would suggest you look for your combination if it is certified combination.
2. Can we connect forms and reports of developer 6i (32-bit) to 10g RAC on x64 platform if the character set is not UTF8 ?I don't know if the combination is certified. But regarding your character set, you have a character set setting (NLS_LANG, DEVELOPER_LANG, etc.. ) for your developer 6i, your database has it's own character set. Depending on those setting a conversion of the character set will take place between your developer 6i and the database, when you get and put data to the database. But like I said I don't know if developer 6i and 10g is still a supported combination.

Trust me I verified installtion guide and release notes atleast 20 times. I never had luck witht any thing. I was wondering how come edelivery.oracle.com packages (both Linux 64 bit Linux with upgrade to Unbreakable and Oracle 10g db version) is not workign for me. Finally below trick to the installed file could make my installation work(Ref link http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora2.php) . In this I am setting DISABLE_HUGETLBFS to value 1. My only doubt is, does this have any impact on performance? Can some one relay on such tweeking for prod installtions? Ofcourse I am yet to go for commercial. At present I dont have ULN or metalink authorised access.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
mv oracle oracle.bin
cat >oracle <<"EOF"
#!/bin/bash
export DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1
exec $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.bin $@
EOF
chmod +x oracle

Oracle 10g (10.1.0.2) for Linux x86 missing from download page?

Hello,
Why isn't there a download link to Oracle 10g (10.1.0.2) for Linux x86 on the 10g download page?
And what's the difference between 10.1.0.3 and 10.1.0.2?
Thanks

Hi, 
 The level of one release is different with plateform.
On the Oracle Database 10g Downloads you can find only final release, and not intermediare patch. For example, the 10gR1 for Linux x86 is 10.1.0.3, and for Windows 32-bits this is 10.1.0.2, after what you can upgrade to the last patchset.

Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4), BDE Admin, Windows7 (x64)

Hi,
I cant seem to figure this one out. I really need to use this silly combination.
1) Install Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4) Client (RUNTIME INSTALLATION)
2) Install BDE Admin (5.02) to c:\Program Files\Common Files\Borland Shared\BDE
(Since BDE will crash and burn if installed under c:\Program Files (x86)...)
3) Receive error from application start: Cannot load an IDAPI service library. File: SQLORA8.DLL. Alias: DB
Any help on this one?
What should I start look for?
* I have checked that the PATH contains the Oracle BIN folder.
* I have given full control to BDE and ORACLE registry and folder structures

Solaris 10 x86 5.10 cannot install Oracle 10g (needs 5.9 or less!)

I installed the latest Solaris 10 x86 rev 5.10 and then downloaded the "New" Oracle 10g for Solaris x86 oddly but not suprisingly the "New" Oracle 10g only installs on Solaris 10 x86 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9 GO FIGURE.
Seem there should be a way to fake out the software to see a different version.
Anybody know how to do this?
thanks
Phil

And another workaround that seems to work can be found here:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/fintanr/20040803
To quote from that page:
Oracle 10g install on Solaris 10 workaround
Quick work around for installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 (in our case on a v20z).
After creating your staging area you run the Oracle installer and get an error similar to the following
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10
 Failed <<<<
To work around this you need to edit the oraparam.ini file, in our case this is /export/ora/Disk1/install/oraparam.ini.
Edit the section
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9
to be
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure through CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAI
LURE_MESSAGE
Solaris=5.6,5.7,5.8,5.9,5.10
And thats it, just run through your install as normal.
