Why use Oracle 8.1.5 for Linux?

Dear,
If it is really pain in the ass to install Oracle on Linux, why
use it? I have spent more than 4 full days (more than what I
excepted) to try to install Oracle on a Linux box.
I guess I will go for mySQL since I can just install the RPM
package and do not have to worry those critical issues.
Just a note for Oracle, please design a better Installer next
time which is going to work! Thank you.
Best Regards,
Alex Yu

I have some sympathy for your plight. I have 8.0.5 installed on
RedHat Linux. Apart from patching the Pro*C configuration file,
everything is fine.
It does seem 8.1.5 is more problematic. If you're purely
evaluating Oracle, maybe you should consider 8.0.5 until 8i
stabilises unless you really are gagging for some 8i feature.

Problem for using oracle xml parser v2 for 8.1.7

My first posting was messed up. This is re-posting the same question.
Problem for using oracle xml parser v2 for 8.1.7
I have a sylesheet with
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">.
It works fine if I refer this xsl file in xml file as follows:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://...../GN.xsl"?>.
When I use this xsl in pl/sql package, I got
ORA-20100: Error occurred while processing: XSL-1009: Attribute 'xsl:version' not found in 'xsl:stylesheet'.
After I changed name space definition to
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> in xsl file, I got
ORA-20100: Error occurred while processing: XSL-1019: Expected ']' instead of '$'.
I am using xml parser v2 for 8.1.7
Can anyone explain why it happens? What is the solution?

Steve,
We are also creating an XML DOM from java and are having trouble getting the tags created as we want. When we use XMLText it creates the tag as <tagName/>value rather than <tagName>value</tagName>. We want separate open and close tags. Any ideas?

Can I use Oracle Developer Day.ova for learning purposes without any license? #developerday

Hi,
   I am a student and learning oracle database. I have found Oracle Virtual box appliance from following link Developer Day - Hands-on Database Application Development</title><meta name="Title" content="Dev…
   Do I need a license to use this VM?
   Please reply.

Hi friends,
i have installed oracle db using Oracle Developer Day.ova for practicing on my lappie.
I want to connect to that DB which is inside oracle vm virtual box manager using PUTTY ( which is on my desktop). I dont want to use the in-built workspace or Terminal(whatever is its name).
Can you guys please suggest what should i do so that i can login to the DB using the PUTTY only (i love it )? i am not able to login to the host "localhost" using the putty.
Few years back when i had installed vmware(linux installed in it and db installed on linux) i could connect through putty.
I am using below entry in the hosts file.
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
    127.0.0.1       localhost
#    ::1             localhost
'localhost' and its ip address of 127.0.0.1 are non-routeable. Any request to send a network message to localhost will never leave the machine from which the request originates. And for all intents and purposes, your virtual machine is a different machine.
See my solution at

Want to download only client for Oracle 8.1.7 for linux

Where can one find client for Oracle 8.1.7 for linux which we can download ? Oracle database is on another platform.
Thanks

The Database, Management and Integration server and client are all included in the one 8i download. The installer gives you the choice of just installing the client tools.

I have tried to install Oracle on SuSE 5.2. I almost complted the

Leaving trace.ins- Entering Make Dependent section.
- Entering do_relink==false section.

Deciding to start again from scratch, I tried deleting all files
and begining again, but now I get a different error running
orainst. The installer keeps responding that 'file x already
exists'. The name of the file changes each time I run it, and no
file of that name exists. I have tried deleting the temp
directories, as well as dropping them and recreating them
elsewhere (desperation!), but I canot stop this from happening:

Does anyone have any ideas??
