but does not go further.what should i do.oracle in cd is in .tar format.how do i install it on linux.

Hello
Look at this documentation website for Oracle8i.
http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/oracle8i.html
This has got a document in pdf format, I think that's what you are loking for. The name is:
Oracle8i Installation Guide Release 3 (8.1.7) for Linux Intel
I am sure this will help.
Cheers

  • 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

    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>

    I have been using Oracle for about two months now without

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

    As far as I can remember there are two different licensing
    schemes. The first one is : max. allowed concurrent login; the
    second one is: max. allowed no. of users created. For which one
    to use, you might talk to your local Oracle Sales rep.

  • Developer version of Oracle for Linux

    I am currently enrolled in a class here at ISU where I am working with an off-campus company to develop a better user database for them. They run Oracle, but we must mirror their system on one of our machines to do the work. I was looking for a developer version of oracle that I can use this semester for this project. Does anyone know where I can get something like this?

    You can download it from OTN.

  • Oracle for Linux & NT Network

    Is there any somewhat simple way to setup a RedHat server with
    Oracle8 and have it function the same for the W95 clients using
    SQL as it does when using Oracle on an NT server?? If anyone has
    any info I'd greatly appriciate it. Thanks
    null

    Very easy. What's the difference to Oracle? Just use Net8 or
    SQL*Net. On the server side, start listener ('lsnrctl start');
    on the client side, use Net8 easy config to add new connecting
    string/service pointing to the server using TCP/IP.

  • Oracle for Linux download

    Is this download time limited? I know there's a 30 day CD but
    that doesn't give us enough time for developing a prototype
    which would aid us in our decision of what database system &
    platform to go for in the long term...
    If this development version available on Technet has no time
    limit, then it's worth downloading and evaluating.

    I think you experienced a server in flux. I just tried it and it works. If it continues to fail, then post more details about how you navigated from the page you referenced.

    Hello,
    I have been attempting to download Oracle 8i for linux and my connection appears to get broken during the file transfer. The file is over 500 Mb but I have only managed to receive about 150 Mb before the connection was lost.
    The file appears to be a tar but is not compressed. Could the file be compressed to minimise download time and reduce the likelihood of file corruption during transfer?
    Also, is Oracle for Linux available on CD? Is there a fee for the CD and delivery?
    Any advice concerning download of this file would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ralph.

    http://otn.oracle.com/software/htdocs/downloadFAQ.html has the answer for it.
    If you are downloading to windows use www.getright.com's share ware to download 500MB in less time.

  • Whether the Oracle 8i for linux is free for business purpose?

    if we implement an application with Oracle 8i for linux.And the we will sell the application. whether we must pay the Oracle 8i for linux?

    I think the oracle so called their datebase can't use to profit include two perspect:
    First, you can't use oracle for linux in bussiness directly.Such as a compnay use oracle on linux as his database platform.
    second, you can't use oracle for linux as development platform or run platform and you product used for bussiness perpose.
    The above two item certainly uner unauthorized conditions. If you get authorized oracle on linux,you can use it as you want.
