Oracle for Linux - released?!?

Yeah, I'm aware this might seem a bit foolish to ask, but
when I call Oracle in Denmark (which seems natural to me, as
I live there :) I am told that Oracle 8 for Linux isn't released
yet. So what's the deep truth about this?

1) Someone had suggested that the recent webcast with Larry Ellison would be about Database 12c, but that didn't make sense because the other presenter in the webcast was the head of SPARC.
2) Amazon is taking orders for a book called Pro Oracle Database 12c Administration that is supposed to be published on April 17th.
3) Apress Books has two titles announced for mid-May.
I would assume that those books cannot be published before the product is released, so those dates might provide some indication.

  • Configure dial-up connection in Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4-3.7.11

    Hallo!I have just finished installing Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 4-3.7.11 so that I can set up Oracle 10g on this Linux platform.
    But first I need to set up a few configurations e.g enable my OEL connect to the internet via a dial-up modem.
    I have used my modem successfully on openSUSE 11.2 and Ubuntu 9.04 but I am unable to use it on OEL.
    My ubuntu configurations are as follows
    Connection Name:ZAIN
    Number:*99#
    APN:ke.celtel.com
    How do I set up dial-up in OEL using the settings above?
    Also,simple commands to restart the OEL such as shutdown -r now are not being found when I type them in the terminal.How can this be so?
    Thanks.

    Use wvdial to dial out using the modem, authenticate, and have it launch the pppd daemon for creating an IP connection via the modem.
    If you want to configure manually, you will need to edit the files pap-secrets and chap-sercrets in +/etc/ppp+. Then you also need a unique config file for your connection defined in the +/etc/ppp/peers+ directory.
    These files are fairly simple to edit. The secret files contains your ISP authentication details. The peers file the phone number and account name (from the secret files) to use. wvdialconf should configure this accordingly though.
    There's lot of details available on the web - suggest you google.

    This looks like a follow up of Re: Error after installing Oracle Enterprise Linux (Release 5) on Dell T 110
    Can you give more details what you are trying to do or trying to accomplish. Where are you trying to ping to?
    It could be that you have not defined your gateway or DNS server for name to IP mapping. What is the output of
    # netstat -rn
    # cat /etc/resolv.conf

  • Performance Oracle for Linux OS/390

    Hi all,
    somebody know some issues in Oracle for Linux OS/390..?
    instalation, performance, etc.
    Thanks and advanced.
    Best regards....

    Hi Shane,
    Oracle has only released client software for Intel Macs, but not the full database server software. If you want to run the Oracle database on your Mac, I suggest installing on a supported OS running in a virtual machine (VMware Fusion, Parallels, or VirtualBox). Michael McLaughlin has a very thorough post on his blog about using an Intel Mac as a client for a database server running in VMware Fusion.

  • Choosing oracle for linux ! what are merits and demerits

    we are going to choose oracle for linux for our e-commerce site which will serve as search engin and shopping mall.

    Thanks cgawoods for the advice...
    I followed all the steps that you mentioned... Installing the Oracle client proved to be easy as pie on the Linux server, and connecting to the Oracle instance on the NT server was instantaneous with sqlplus... tnsping also finds the Oracle server without a hitch.
    I also made the modifications to the coldfusion start script you mentioned, i.e. setting ORACLE_HOME, etc (which is also mentioned in Allaire's docs).
    However.... (yes, here it comes) The DSN still comes up as 'failed' when I try to add a new one using the native drivers in the Coldfusion Administrator.
    Do I need to do anything on the Oracle server side (NT) first in order to get things working?
    I'm pretty stumped at this point as to why this won't work.
    Thanks
    DH
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by cgawoods ():
    I've done Cold Fusion installs on Solaris 2.6, and am an OCP DBA. If you download the Oracle 8.0.5 EE (RedHat 5.2) or Oracle8i EE(Redhat 6.0-6.2) Server programs, you may use the "Server" installation as an Oracle Client. Once you get Oracle installed, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file to point to your remote database. Then, you will need to point Cold Fusion to the $ORACLE_HOME where you installed the Oracle Server software. You will want (and probably need) to use the "native" oracle driver for Cold Fusion instead of the ODBC driver. Once the Oracle installation is complete, and you can "tnsping" the Oracle instance on NT, you should be able to configure Cold Fusion to talk to your Oracle database. It's just a matter of reading Allaire's documentation on configuring Cold Fusion for use with Oracle at that point.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

  • Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

    I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
    The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
    forefront. We have
    been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
    announced for
    that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
    downloaded Oracle8
    for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
    the first
    20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
    paying
    customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
    accounts and most
    of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
    This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
    Linux. Already,
    20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
    internet
    technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
    Linux, this
    release promises to be the hottest yet.
    Read on for more information about:
    - What are we announcing?
    - What are the key messages?
    - What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    - Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    - Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    - Which products are available on Linux?
    - Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
    doing?
    - Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
    What are we announcing?
    Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
    strong demand
    for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
    shipping
    Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
    What are the key messages?
    Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
    fast, reliable
    and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
    the higher
    value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
    databases and applications).
    With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
    progressing from
    its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
    deployment
    environment in large business.
    Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
    using Oracle8
    and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
    Network (OTN) for
    Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
    operating system.
    What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
    Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
    list (see
    http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
    operating
    system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
    developer licenses
    through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
    to use Oracle
    software for non-commercial use.
    Why does Oracle care about Linux?
    Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
    small ISP's
    and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
    sites. For
    Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
    three times
    that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
    low-cost, yet
    highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
    the NT market,
    Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
    Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
    strongly
    contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
    students and
    developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
    Fortune 100
    companies and although deployments are still currently small
    compared to NT
    and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
    Which products are available on Linux?
    Currently available on Linux are:
    - Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
    - Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
    - Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
    - Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
    - Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
    Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
    Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
    equity
    investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
    Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
    primarily on
    enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
    Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.

    VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
    (http://www.linux.com)
    Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
    Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
    There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
    Oracle strategy
    and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
    (Strategic
    Business Unit).

    Press Release
    ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
    ANNOUNCEMENT
    OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
    Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
    number one
    choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
    for Oracle
    on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
    business markets.
    Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
    Linux, after a
    successful early adopter's program.
    Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
    over 50,000
    downloads from Oracle Technology Network
    (http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
    after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
    registrants
    for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
    community,
    Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
    excess of 800
    paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
    enterprise accounts
    and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
    organizations.
    "Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
    had to rely on
    NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
    Linux," says
    Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
    company providing
    customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
    web hosting
    and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
    security,
    performance, manageability or reliability required by our
    customers. Oracle
    brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
    a result,
    we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
    Fortune 100
    enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
    the addition
    of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
    "Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
    scalability and
    performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
    system," says
    Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
    e-commerce
    service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
    members'
    needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
    extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
    "Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
    community,"
    says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
    at Oracle.
    "Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
    Together they
    offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
    applications."
    Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
    the
    Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
    leadership in
    the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
    warehousing to
    the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of

    Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
    and Oracle's
    Internet development tools.

    for information
    management, and the world's second largest software company.
    With annual
    revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its

    Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
    is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
    We can hope...

    This has got a document in pdf format, I think that's what you are loking for. The name is:

    I am sure this will help.

  • LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux released Oct 17th.

    Some of us are missing LightScribe capabilities on Arch Linux.
    Now "4L" comes as an RPM free (as in beer) & ready for Linux
    The news is there : http://www.k3b.org/ (LaCie is a k3b support)
    Press release : http://www.lacie.com/company/news/news.htm?id=10293
    Download page : http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10803
    I've never used rpm under Arch and will seek knowledge on rpm2cpio AUR package.
    Anybody's willing to get on this ?

    Use rpmextract to extract the files from the rpm. Then, it's just a question of installing the files in the correct place (in $startdir/pkg), i.e. binaries in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib, etc.

  • How to install oracle for Linux ?

    Hello,
    i have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 for Linux and my host OS is Ubuntu. After unzipping the downloaded file i got
    1. response folder,
    2.upgrade folder and
    3.oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm file.
    My host OS Ubuntu is 64 bit, and i have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 64 bit for Linux.
    But i am unable to use that database. Please help how to use that !

    Hello;
    Your download does not appear to be correct, I would expect a much different result from unzipping.
    I would check this out and follow it to the letter if I were doing it :
    Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto
    Best Regards
    mseberg
    Later
    PavanG is probably correct, in that case you should look at this :
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 how-to
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 howto

    Officially, no. But there is a how-to out there to install Oracle
    7.x on a Linux machine using the icbs support that can be built
    into Linux. Check one of the official how-to sites and see if you
    can find it there.

  • New Skype for Linux released, version 4.3 | Edit: Now in Repo's

    A New Skype has been released for Linux.  Not quite yet in our repo's as of this writing.  Skype 4.3 is now in the official repo's.
    One of the larger changes is that ALSA is no longer supported and users are instead directed to use Pulse Audio.  I already use Pulse, but I can imagine there will be some people unimpressed with this new requirement.
    Unfortunately when it comes to network messaging programs the protocol is what rules.  All my friends use the Skype protocol so I also have to use it to communicate with them.  As far as I'm aware there is no full-featured replacement for the Skype protocol on Linux that also does audio and video.
    What do you think?
    Note: I posted in Multimedia, if there is a better place for this please feel free to move it.  Perhaps networking, but Skype is a multimedia/network application.

    There is one more option to consider, though, one that I find fascinating: WebRTC. WebRTC is native voice and video chat in a web browser. Both Firefox and Chrome have supported it for some time now, so if you and your friend use one of those web browsers then you don't need to install any special software. Just send them a link to a web page and start using it.
    Disclaimer: I tried it about a year ago. Firefox was able to display my webcam video but I never successfully established a connection with my friend. I should try it out again...
    I tried it out a few weeks ago on a couple of computers running Arch, and managed to get it working fine between all combinations of Chromium and Firefox (all up to date, mind). I used Talky and it certainly made WebRTC easy. I just need to convince members of the family to stuff Skype now!
    Thanks so much for the Talky suggestion.
    I tried to convince people to use Jitsi and register for their Jabber service, but unfortunately a lot are content with using Skype.
