Oracle on LinuxPPC or other platforms

I have found "Oracle on Linux" and happy to use it on
PowerPC-Platform. But i'm frustrated: Only "Oracle for Linux on
Intel-platform exists?
Has everyone heard about Oracle on other Linux-platforms (PPC,
Alpha, MIPS, HP-Risc, ...)?????
Thanx!

Hi,
Oracle on LINUX is largly experimental, in my opinion. You did
not mention reliable and recoverable and robust (aka, working),
in your criteria ("performance and scalability"). If you are
experimenting, then use Oracle on LINUX. If your job depends on
Oracle working, then use NT (that's not my first choice, but NT
or LINUX were your two options).
The facts are simple to find. Search this message board for
LINUX issues. Then look at Oracle on NT support issues. Compare
the two and draw a conclusion.
Good luck, especially if you're starting with Oracle on LINUX.
Regards,
Mike Thomas

  • Oracle 10g XE for other platforms

    Are there plans to make XE available for other platforms? Can I register a vote for Mac OSX?

    Funnily enough Tom Kyte was asked this very question when he launched XE at the UKOUG Annual Conference. His response was that there were plans to extend XE to other platforms but he didn't know the time scales. He did vouchsafe that he had a shiny new G5 waiting for him when he got back, so I can guess he's +1 on your vote.
    In practice, if you look at the target for XE - MySQL and MSSQL - Linux and Window
    make more sense than launching on Solaris and Mac. But I don't think it will be too long before installs come out for other *nix platforms.

  • Oracle 8i for Linux: Which platform

    Does anyone knows which platform is supported by Oracle 8i for
    linux?
    Here we using LinuxPPC (fpr PowerPC-Platform) with all the given
    reqirements!

    I had an Alpha I wanted to install 8i on under Linux, but at
    this point it only supports Linux on an Intel box. You may want
    to check the migration path to see if Oracle plans to port to a
    Power-PC

  • Differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform

    Hello,
    J would like to know if there are some differences between Oracle 8i for a UNIX Platform and Oracle 8i for a Linux Platform.
    I know that there are some differences on Oracle 8i Parallel Server and i know that some products are not include like precompiler (Mod*Ada, Pro*FORTRAN) on a Linux Platform.
    Thank you.

    We have installed Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and it had a great performance, of course that the hardware and licence invested here was costed my the office where i work. Personaly i'd installed linux reh hat 8 and oracle 8i, imagine that, it could be implemented by any individual that has the time to do so.
    By buyinng from a company that has a good background you could be sure that you will have support.
    Bottom line, if you have the $ to buy great hardware go for a unix platform. But if you don't a Red Hat Linux Server Licence with a 1 year sopport and Oracle data base is about 3500Dls.

  • Web Services Tutorial on Oracle Hosted free HTML DB platform

    I was told before that web services would not be supported for a while on Oracle Hosted free HTML DB platform.
    Is there any new status info about this?

    Dave, given the messages returned indicate your configuration is looking at a j2se1.4 directory, I think that is the problem. Neither OC4J or JDeveloper are certified with JDK 1.4. I realize that you have installed 1.3 so my guess is that in following step 8 and 10 of the "Installing and Running Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE" where it says:
    8. Install the J2EE container using the following command: java jar oc4j.jar install
    10. Start the J2EE container by issuing the following command: java jar oc4j.jar Show me.
    the problem is that the commands were not prefixed with the location of your JDK 1.3 installation and by default picked up the later JDK 1.4. I think you will be able to get around it by running the commands as follows (replacing directory names by your locations):
    <jdk1.3_home>\bin\java -jar oc4j.jar -install
    <jdk1.3_home>\bin\java -jar oc4j.jar
    Your JDeveloper should be fine unless you changed its JDK to also be 1.4; by default it uses its own built-in 1.3 JDK.
    Hope this points in the right direction.
    Mike.

    I would be very interested in an answer to this.
    Our company build Alpha-based computers running Linux and with
    the shipping of the 264 processor, we have a lot of inquiries
    about powerful Alpha-based servers with Oracle.
    Will there soon be an alpha version of Oracle under Linux and can
    we expect help to run it properly from Oracle?

  • Upgrade scripts for other platforms...

    We are in a need for upgrade scripts (Portal 3.0) for other platforms like HP-UX, when will these be available?
    Or can we use the scripts for the other Operating Systems, provided we invoke them from that O/S?
    thanks
    Tim

    We'll be posting new versions of the upgrade scripts for HP-UX, IBM AIX, Linux and others shortly on OTN. (I don't have an ETA, but it won't be long, I think). Earlier versions of these upgrade scripts have also been posted to metalink.oracle.com.

  • WHY SUCH AN INJUSTICE THAT BBM CANNOT BE USED ON MY CURVE 9300 OVER NORMAL DATA SERVICE AND OTHER PLATFORMS CAN USE!

    Hello,
    I am using Blackberry Curve 9300. I purchased this phone for Rs. 17,250 before some 3 years, I considered RIM to be a Company providing premium services which is unique in itself and which worth spending on them and the most important thing is those are not available to non-blackberry users! Especially in case of Blackberry Messenger, which is such a service connecting all the blackberry users around the world, making a mark of precious symbol of the users of BBM.
     Before few days I came to know about BBM being available on Android and Windows phones, my question is why this injustice with your own customers, you provide the app which they will use with their normal data plan and we people who are your real customers, who trusted in you have to spend not less than Rs.129 for just BBM!I must say RIM is the most back-stabbing company I have had ever dealt with! People are laughing at us as they are using the same service for almost free and we have to spend a huge sum for availing the same service, my question is are these non blackberry people your customers or we people who contributed in your success with hopes of trust?
    My question is not why you made available BBM usage to non-blackberry users with such flexibility but my question is why can't you be loyal to your own customers?
    I hope that RIM would have a pleasing justification.

    Thanks with the signature but I already removed it from my profile too.
    I was never under a rock when it comes to technology I know that in India before few months yoru Blackberry Z10 was Rs.44,000 and now it is Rs.21,000. I understand the ploy of making BBM cross platform to generate revenue, first in a technical sense and another by creating it advrtisement in the marker.
    Do you think that taking an undue advantage of our loyaty and enduring the mockery of your own customer would take you anywhere? Don't you think that abusing your own customer's prestige would even affect you negatively? While your customer is paying Rs.129 for just BBM the Android person sitting next to him is lauging at him for he paid you and call him fool! Profits doesn't starts only by making huge business decisions but from the loyal and satisfied customers. You may always find customers all around always complaining but deep down if you have touched their needs they will bless you with good words at your back, maybe in such a way that you will never come to kow but it will grow you more. I am not here to deliver you a marketing lecture as i am in corporate law field but let me tell you what I read during my graduation, it said something like one disatisfied customer can discourage ten potential customers from buying your product and I have started feeling the same in case of online shopping but I do not know when the company giant blackberry would come to know! 
    When you said about expanding customer base, think about a company who is expanding its base of customers by disatisfing their current customers who always took pride in you by providing them services at harsh terms and in front of their eyes others are getting benefits at a very low cost.
    Our family business is textile manufacturing, not as big as blackberry but we always knew that if we will start selling our goods by describing them as really premium goods and start charging out of lips and bounds, of course my product could be premium worth the price but one thing I could be missing would be a point of finance, there could be cheaper alternatives in market which could be selling at lower price which same usage. My concern is just to keep our eyes open.
    Now consider a phone on which I can use Whatsapp which satisfies my messaging needs, gtalk and yahoo messengers for my im needs, push mails for emails, browsing and downloading for just Rs.99 and on the other hand Blackberry services for Rs.389, it is indeed clear the reason of downfall, though it is labelled as premium service and indeed it could be, permium service as I said earlier.
    When you feel that your boat is sinking, you do not have only have to pull out the waters but on the priority basis you have to cover the hole too! Blackberry is just pulling out the water leaving the hole as it is!
    If you say that legacy mode in BBOS could bother you  from providing BBM for BB device, you know that it cannot be and even I know that, any technical person can know that as it is a little secret that I can use BB browser without BIS and many other apps are example of the same (to be a bit informal). See, I never asked this thing from last three years but now when you are making it cross platform why not to give a little benefits to those who paid you till now, if you can give it to those who are nothign to you?
    My question is that why can't you provide BBM to be used on the normal data paln for your own old and loyal customers who paid you such a handsome amount from many years for your services as how you provide on other platform, just for BBM not email and rest of your services?

  • When using Alpha to outline photos in an ebook does it stay outlined across other platforms or programs

    I am creating an ebook in Keynote with animation, and some movies. Then I plan on publishing it with iAuthor. Then I want to publish it with other book sellers, i.e. Amazon and others. What are the concerns with everything working in the other platforms and what do I need to do? Also, I'm concerned about using the Alpha programs to outline photos. It does not seem to work after Alpha to save them into iphoto for reuse. What happens to those photos when going to another device, program. Do they stay outlined? Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks

    Tom -
    In Keystone I have some art that apprear in the image and text and they stay there in playing after importing them into quicktime movie and placing them into iAuthor. When I preview them on the iPad they appear and then dissapear. The page goes back to the beginning after the movie is complete without the image. The page is to stay with the image while the reader finishes the page and then goes to the next. How can I get the  page to stat intact. All ideas appreciated.
    Thanks Jack

  • Same apps free for other platforms but paid for Wi...

    Recently purchased a Lumia 920, and quite satisfied so far. But I have observed that several apps/games which are free on other platforms like Android and iOS are actually not free for Windows Phone. For example, the entire Angry birds series is free for other platforms, but they're paid for Windows Phone. What is the reason behind this? And when Microsoft are trying hard to promote their Windows Phone OS, why are they so greedy that they charge for apps/games which are totally free on other platforms?

    Contact the developer or MS on that one.Some games and apps would of been free for a time or there is opportunity's when these go free for a certain period.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • Keytool generated keys portable to other platforms?

    I generated asymmetric keys using Java Keytool on Windows NT. Are the keys portable to Unix ? Also, can programs like Perl, ASP read these keys? Thank you.

    This is not completely correct. Key tool does not allow export of
    private keys. It is a real drag for developers.You no need to export anything. BTW, PKCS#12 keystore could be created by using keytool with appropriate JCE provider with PKCS#12 support. Then you can open it on other platform, that supports PKCS#12 (i.e. mozilla or msie web browsers can do it). For more detail on PKCS#12 refer to OpenSSL PKCS#12 FAQ. http://www.drh-consultancy.demon.co.uk/pkcs12faq.html
