Re: Oracle 9i on Linux
At my work, i'd installed for tests purposes : Oracle 8i on Debian Potato Oracle 9i on Debian Woody Oracle 9ir2 on Debian Woody all works fine. Some good pages are : http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~owend/free/oracle-linux.html and http://otn.oracle.com/tech/linux/content.html Don't forget the kernel parameters about semaphores, it's the most important to have an Oracle stable database. My kernels are standards (2.2.20 & 2.4.18/20) without patches. (for now) > -- > Bertrand PERRINE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not generally on Linux, and unless Alexander has more recent information
than I do, Oracle (the company) doesn't really like you to use raw
partitions and it doesn't offer that much of a performance increase.
Theodore might be thinking of Oracle's IFS ("Internet File System")
which lets you store content in the database and expose it as a network
filesystem.

Re: Oracle 9i on Linux
I also heard that Oracle uses its own filesystem on top of whatever filesystem you use. Additionally, the RedHat people compile special kernels for running Oracle. You might want to see why. This howto might be helpful even though it is for RedHat. http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml >On Mon, Feb 17, 2003 at 10:34:10PM +0100, Russell Coker wrote: >Does anyone know much about Oracle on Linux?

That's why you need the 'glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz' from technet.o.c on woody. Oracle-8.1.7 comes with jre-1.1.8 and IIRC an 'jdk1.1' is only needed if want to install oracle's httpd server (an apache). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

So, you need to go to the temporary directory where Oracle unpacks its files, install a working JDK there, and continue the process. 8.0.5 was a lot better; the dependency on glibc 2.0.7 that version had is easier to satisfy than the horrible Java mess. > Also I am particularly interested in an overview of how the different Oracle > processes interact.

Re: Oracle 9i on Linux
Hi, As i installed oracle 8i on my debian box ..and used .. oracle 8.1.7 glibc 2.2.5 JDK 1.1.8 The main problem was to find out the JDK version as JDK comes with the support od glibc 2.1.2,2.1.3 etc... and if you don't use compatable version of JDK, it gives segmentation faults during installation. Hope above list of versions os required software will help you .. Thanks Rajeev Sharma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does anyone know much about Oracle on Linux? If so can you please give me some quick advice on how difficult it is to install, whether it runs well on Debian, etc. Also I am particularly interested in an overview of how the different Oracle processes interact. I have a potential opportunity to make some money from such work in a couple of weeks, so if there's an Oracle/Linux expert looking for work then there's possibilities there too...

Re: Oracle 9i on Linux
Oracle/Linux expert. Well, I installed it 8.something once a few years ago :( First, it is not fun. Second, don't put anything other than Oracle on the box . . . it positively does not play nice with others. As far as the install is concerned, it was pretty straightforward, but the configuration was a royal pain. I remember thinking "wow, this is great" when I was installing, but all went downhill from there. If I remember correctly, it works best if you place the different parts of Oracle on different partitions. I don't remember why, and I may be getting it mixed up with the Windoze Oracle installs I've done. I did the install on a Deb box. Are you aware you can go to tech.oracle.com and, theoretically, download a copy of it. If you have a spare box around you can install on it and have a better feel for what you are getting yourself into. I trashed the install after I had done it and put postgre on instead. I mainly did it to prove I could. postgre plays nice with others. If you have any problems and can not find someone with more recent experience, write me and I'll try to help. Remember, all this was a couple of years ago, so I'm assuming things have changed a bit. Rod > Does anyone know much about Oracle on Linux?

Oracle 9i on Linux
Does anyone know much about Oracle on Linux? If so can you please give me some quick advice on how difficult it is to install, whether it runs well on Debian, etc. Also I am particularly interested in an overview of how the different Oracle processes interact.
