Oracle8 for Linux

If i don't want to waste the huge amount of time in downloading
Oracle8 for Linux, what others way i could get it ? (could i buy
one?)
null

Oracle8 for Linux is only available on Intel, however,
it is heavily rumoured that an Alpha port will be made
available this or next quarter. This rumour was reported
at: http://www.alphalinux.org/
If you are running Digital Unix on it, then it would have
nothing to do with Linux. You would have to buy Oracle8
for Digital Unix (I believe only available in Enterprise
Edition). You could, however, replace Digital Unix with
Linux, and then install Oracle8 for Linux/Alpha, if it is
indeed released. Personally, I think DEC Unix is still one
of the most advanced server OS' out there, and if you've
already paid for it, then use it. But it would definitely
be cheaper to use Linux & O8 (workgroup edition), than O8
(enterprise edition) on DEC Unix (which generally starts
at around US$15,000 w/support), if you don't actually need
the enterprise features. Of course, this also assumes that
your Alpha is Linux-compatible.

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

- 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.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
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
Oracle's
Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
and Oracle's
Internet development tools.
Oracle Corporation is the world's leading supplier of software
for information
management, and the world's second largest software company.
With annual
revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its
database,
application server, tools and application products, along with
related
consulting, education and support services, in more than 145
countries around
the world.

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...

John -
You are missing some required Linux files. When you install
Linux, pick the 'everything' option, then weed out the obvious
things you don't want (like the Serbian How-To's, etc.)
I say this because I ran into the exact same thing this past
weekend after picking and choosing which packages to install for
Linux. After re-installing with the 'everything' option, the
Oracle install went swimmingly. I wish I could tell you which
package in particular you are missing, but I never figured that
out.

Does Oracle 8i for Linux include Oracle Enterprise Manager?

What's the version of the current Oracle 8i for Linux?
Enterprise Edition?

NO, it will not work. You cannot even install since the installer
for Solaris is a Solaris binary and some windows exe also does
not work. I guess somebody has to write a better bootstrap proggy
first...
I wonder why they did it that way...

[b]Can't not run the Oracle Universal Installer (Oracle8.1.7 for Linux) on

I have a problem when try to install Oracle8i Release 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on RedHat Linux 7.3. After I do the pre-installation tasks, i enter the command (runs as the oracle user):
$ /tmp/Disk1/runInstaller
I wait for the one minute and then nothing is happen. I don't understand the reason why the Oracle Universal Installer can't not display! Please tell me all reasons may be!

Sorry the Oracle version should be 1.7 not 1.1.7. I downloaded it from the web site. The JRE I downloaded is jre 1.18 because the installer asked for this version.

If you can connect as 'system' in sqlplus then I have a feeling
that you already have a database running :)
Anyway, to create another one ensure that you have new ORACLE_SID
set in environment and new init<SID>.ora file created, then:
$ svrmgrl
SVRMGR> connect internal
SVRMGR> startup nomount
SVRMGR> create database ....
(after that usually add rollback segments/tablespaces and run
catalog and catproc scripts etc.)

Problems downloading files for Oracle 8.1.7 for Linux

So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name download.oracle.com
- Filename otn/linux/oracle8/linux81701.tar
- Date/Time 21 Feb 2002 11 pm
- Browser + Version IE 5.50.4134.0600CO
- O/S + Version Windows 2000 service pack 2
- Error Msg
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.
If using linux, then http://devel-home.kde.org/%7Ecaitoo/index.html will help you to down load it.

Oracle 8i for Linux Starter Kit

Hello,
Need an Oracle God to help me with 8i for linux!
I am would like to learn about oracle database software. Just purchased the Starter Kit that includes 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition. Now I have done some research on the install for this and found out that it is very difficult. I tried to cookbook together the install from various posts/oracle web site/etc. I was successful in getting it to install, but could not get the stubs patch to install.
I now have a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0. No changes have been made to glibc.
First question is where to get the correct glibc rpm to keep the installer from crashing, and from causing other problems to my system. MandrakeUpdate was smoking crack and fetching a different file for glibc 2.2.2-5, then it said that it would conflict with gcc or something like that. I want to make sure I am getting the appropriate
files.
Second, on page 19 of the book, I do ok until it comes to setting the environment variables. Am I supposed to login as my Oracle user, an type '$HOME/.bash_profile' to set these variables? This relates to the problem with the stubs patch saying that ORACLE_HOME was not in the environment.
Third, I am using this link to get to the stubs file.
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle8i/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
My plan is this.
1. Update the appropriate glibc rpm to allow the installer to run.
2. Install Oracle based on the books instruction verbatim.
3. Do not install the educational database. First install the stubs as above.
Questions.
Will a custom install allow me to keep the installer from attempting the database?
Once the stubs are installed, where is dbassist located to install the database after the fact?
Please Please help me with this situation. I would really like to learn databases, Oracle in particular. If this does not work, I doubt that I can return the book, considering the cd is open.
Thanks in advance for any kind assistance.

Here is a mini update since my last post...
ok, by updating my glibc stuffs from 2.2.2-4 to 2.2.2-5 I am able to get the runinstaller to work (it echos a bunch of 'map failed' in the console though I wonder if there is something wrong with that)... however since I am only doing now at work I can only try to install on my laptop which is does not have enough HD space. I am down to 230M left and there is no way it will install so I will try it again on my PC after I go home today. Btw, here are the files that I have updated:
glibc-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
glibc-profile-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
ldconfig-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
nscd-2.2.2-5mdk.i586.rpm
You can get these from any mirror sites I think. Or run your MandrakeUpdate under the Config/Packaging menu (you need to select a mirror site by clicking mirror site update).
As for the SRPMS/glibc-2.2.2-5mdk.src.rpm...
I can't find this file in any of the mirror site.
However, now I am facing another issue. I tried the "echo $ORACLE_HOME" as suggested but it returns me with an empty line same as I try a make up env like "echo $dafadas"... so does this means that it is not reading the ORACLE_HOME in my .bash_profile in the oracle account? I also notice that even I did all the same procedures, while in RH6.2 the oracle install path is my $ORACLE_HOME, in Mandrake8 the path is /home/oracle/OraHome1? I stopped at this step and didn't go forward because 1, there is not enough HD space to continue and 2, I am not sure that the path is correct. If anyone reached this state and went beyond please let me know if I am on the right track or not...
P.S. I remember doing that same thing about not installing the database during the installation for oracle 8.0.5; however, I couldn't access to the database even using my oracle account later on. I don't know if that is a permission problem or something like that.
Thanks in advance

Oracle 8i for Linux Campaign

Hello,
a customer of ours in Germany said that he "won" an Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition for Linux CD. He believes this campaign was organised and conducted in the 3Q in 1999.
I told him this is a trial CD and he is entitled to a 30 day license but he insists that this is a normal product. Can anyone remember this campaign and further details.
Thanks and regards
Christopher

Oracle 8i Lite for Linux, Is it available?

Hi all,
Wanted to know if Oracle 8i Lite is available for Linux.
Thanks

Hi DH,
On Oracle 8.1.5 the Oracle client is on the same CD as the Oracle server. I didn't receive the 8.1.6 version yet, but I expect its not any different.
When you run the OUI, you get the options 'Oracle8i Enterprise Edition', 'Oracle Client' and ;Oracle Programmer'. Just select Oracle Client, and the client will be installed

Problem in Instalation of Oracle8i on Linux

Hi,
I hav downloaded the oracle8i from linux from oracle site.
Performed all the pre-configuration steps of
set env variables like PATH, ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and LD_ASSUME_KERNEL after connecting as oracle.
made for mount points namely /u01, /u02, /u03, /u04
made users (oinstall and oracle) and groups (oinstall, dba, etc)
as root user executed the command xhost +
after doing all this when I run the script /runInstaller it does not displays OUI.
It does not give any error, and shows a grey coloured rectangular box, and that is it.
jre process runs in the background taking more than 95% of CPU time.
plz help me on this. thanx-a-ton in adavnce.
regards,
Saket Maheshwary

I'm not an expert but i had the same problem when I untarred the download file and burned a CD in windows. I would suggest that you put the tar file on a CD and untar it in unix/linux
