Oracle on Slackware rulez !!!!!!
Marcin Caban 'Cabko' http://cabko.anixe.org/

it's working.
I'm using Slackware 8.0 + kernel 2.4.9 + RH binutils + JDK 1.1.8v3
My hardware: K7 1100 512MB Ram SCSI HD IBM DDYS 18GB 10k rpm AHA 39160 MGA G450
I have followed the howto from http://free-zg.hinet.hr/denisk/index_en.html
Tricky thing. Last night I made a "wrong" Slackware setup: I forgot to add a swap partition, so, when Oracle setup started hasn't any swap partition. Setup was FASTER without swap partition, than with one (????) ;-O
However I hadn't created the db (dbca) because my hd was full ;-(
I have downloaded Oracle 9i from technet.oracle.com, then I have burned 3 cd (a big pain). The first CD is buggy: Rock Ridge extension allow max 37 ch as file name. There are a couple of file (documention) that are longer.

  • Is it possible to install Oracle 10g database on a linux Os ?

    Hello all,
    I recently installed Fedora 14, and oracle 10g free edition, on my modest laptop.
    Problem is , I can't upload any scripts, because as i recently learnt from my school teacher, Oracle only works smoothly with Internet explorer browser (i.e.).
    I tried using programs like winetricks to download a linux version of i.e. but in this case Oracle doesn't even open its homepage.
    -In a nutshell, does anyone know a possible way to work with oracle 10g , (or any alternative), that's fully functional on linux (fedora 14) ? Download, Install steps,etc.
    All i need to do is upload simple SQL scripts, and practice my " select from...." commands.
    -Is oracle linux a option ? and what is it?
    Thank you already for any replies, I'm really getting tired of googling threw different forums.

    Ed,
    -i knew my teacher was being stubborn;
    -I meant that the winetricks version of i.e., didn't open the homepage of oracle 10g (=log in screen).
    -what i was trying to do was, after having installed oracle 10g , "go to data base homepage" (openend by firefox) , once logged in with my username, upload a script , and practice typing the different (select from ...group by..etc) sql commands.
    Here is one of several concepts you need to fix in your mind. Databases don't have home pages. Client applications do. Databases store and manage data. Humans at the keyboard see the client application, not the database. Oracle provides some client apps ( iSQLPlus, Oracle Enterprise Manager (Grid Control), dbcontrol, APEX) and even installs some with the database by default, but they are distinctly separate from the database, and so must be identified when talking about user interface issues. Unfortunately, telling us you tried to open "the home page of oracle" tells us nothing at all. If you had said "Tried to log in with iSQLPlus" or "I tried to connect with Apex", it would have conveyed MUCH more information. We would have then had some frame of reference as to what you were seeing.
    To the "upload from where" question : I simply copied the scripts ( .sql , file) from the pc's from school, on usb, then copied them on my own system. When using the "upload scripts" option from oracle, Again, you must distinguish between "oracle" (the database) and whatever client tool you use to connect to it. "Oracle" (the database) doesn't have an "upload scripts" option. Some un-named application does.
    the script is uploaded, but when i try to "run" it , nothing , blank page. no tables, nada. And given what I've said above, you can guess what this statement means. - grin -
    My first guess was, well the teacher said " i.e. only " , so i tried installing i.e. , using winetricks, but i had a feeling i was going off-track, and that surely there must have been a much easier way.
    Even Billy was more charitable toward your teacher than I feel. And when he is so wrong about something as simple as this, makes me wonder what else he is wrong about. And the quality of the teachers calls into question the quality of the school in general.
    In fact, had I been told that by an instructor, I would make it a personal mission to prove him wrong. Not in front of the class (as much short term satisfaction as that may provide) but just by taking my laptop to his office and saying "let me show you something". One of my personal hot buttons is for someone who should know better to pronounce something as "won't work" when I've been doing it for so long and so easily as to just take it for granted.
    >
    Linux (fedora 14) is up and running,
    oracle 10g , linux version, was installed using detailed guide.
    And yes, i will look into oracle linux, and oracle 11g ,
    but i was hoping to use the same version as my school, to avoid any surprises when passing my exams.Edited by: EdStevens on Jun 13, 2011 3:02 PM

"renaming" a database may or may not be the appropriate solution - not to mention that "rename the database" could mean several things and we don't know your definition of that phrase.

  • Oracle 9i Database for Linux

    Hello,
    I need to be able to test some software changes against an Oracle 9i database running under Linux as this is an environment used by one of my customers.
    I have tried downloading the zip files found at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html but if I try to open or download any of these files I receive an Error 404 Page Cannot Be Loaded.
    This happens when using IE6 or when using GetRight.
    Are the links to these files still valid? If not, where can I download Oracle 9i Database for Linux?

    I don't find any problems with these files and they are still available.

  • Using a Linux box to talk to an Oracle 8i database

    I have an Oracle 8i database running on a Sun Solaris box. I
    setup a Linux RH 7.1 box running iPlanet 6 and ColdFusion 5 that
    I want to use to develop apps on that talk to the Oracle DB.
    What software do I need to install on the Linux box to make this
    work? In the old days, Oracle 5, I used a tool called SQL*Net to
    do this. What is it called now? Someone told me I need to load
    the Oracle 8i client tools on my Linux box. Is this correct and
    any idea how I would configure it to talk to the DB on the
    Solaris box?
    Many Thanks!

    the 8i client works using SQL*net as well. Just do the system
    preps on the how-to's and install the client software. I have not
    used Red Hat beyond 6.2, but that worked well as did Mandrake 7.2

  • "Personal Edition" & "Oracle Database 10g for Linux"

  • Installing Oracle Database 10g  on Linux Red Hat 5.1

    While inslalling Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) we've got an error
    Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
    Failed <<<<
    Could we install Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1 or we need only Oracle Database 11g?

    Verify that the redhat-release RPM is installed on your Red Hat system:
    rpm -q redhat-release
    This RPM is important for RHEL since RHEL AS 4, RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 2.1 are Linux releases supported by Oracle. Without this RPM, Oracle 10g OUI won't be able to recognize it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file. You also have to change /etc/redhat-release for unsupported releases like Fedora Core and RH9.
    I do not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable other checks you probably don't want to.
    On RHEL AS 4 (for 10g R1), RH9, and FC 1 you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to make Oracle 10g believe it's running on a supported release.
    Regarding RHEL AS 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.
    To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy/paste the following commands:
    su - root
    cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
    cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
    EOF
    After you are done with the Oracle10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-release:
    su - root
    cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release

  • Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ?

    Hi Friends,
    Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
    (or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here  - Transporting Data Across Platforms
    (or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
    Regards,
    DB

    HI
    his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
    Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
    To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
    List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
    The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
    1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
    2. Start the database in read only mode
    3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
    4. Check if there are any external objects
    5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
    6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
    7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
    8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
    9. Execute the Transport Script
    10.Change the Database ID
    11.Check database integrity
    Thank you

  • Problem with Oracle database Express Edition (Linux)

    I installed oracle-xe on my machine (ArchLinux x64), and all worked fine before a  reboot. After it, I still can connnect to the db with sqlplus, but can't connect to apex (http://localhost:8080/apex/f?p=4950) and can't get a connection using ojdbc:
    Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
    I tried to reinstall the db several times, but the result was always the same: all is ok only before rebooting. I'm a newer with Oracle database and can't find a solution. Could you give me some tip about it?

    The problem was solved by changing permissions for log directory :
    sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/log
