RE: [luau] Oracle 9i on Linux
I have installed Oracle 9i server on Windows before. But not sure I can help with a Linux install. A Linux install is a completely different ballgame considering my experience with an Oracle client install on Linux recently. I might however be able to provide some good scripts/documentation on how to go about doing it in Linux. Please let me know if you need me to do that -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Warren Togami Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 9:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [luau] Oracle 9i on Linux On Wed, 2002-08-14 at 10:02, Vikram Khurana wrote: > The high price maybe because they have Oracle 9i preinstalled on it & > hence price includes the Oracle license, which can be expensive.. I learned today that the high price was from the 30 client access licenses for Windows 2000 Server that were included in the purchase. I fixed the lab that the server was intended for today (using Linux), and advised them to return that Dell server. Oracle itself is free for educational institutions, IIRC. I will be getting the free version and installing it onto Red Hat Linux 7.3.

That would be great for an Oracle learning server for the school. I am sure that they would buy additional RAM for it. Wayne, please give me a call when you have a chance. Thanks, Warren

Re: [luau] Oracle 9i on Linux
Depends on what they're doing. For students who will be running simple queries on small databases, probably. As Warren points out, this isn't a production server. Make sure to keep the databases down to a reasonable size and you should be fine. Remember, people have run SQL servers on much less powerful systems than a PII-400. You know what? My lack of reading skills made me think this was a server for a thin client lab. My bad. --Ray

I am advising them to return this particular Dell ripoff and use one of our donated P2 400MHz Dells from the Air Force. Do you think a P2 400MHz is going to be good enough for 20 simultaneous clients? I doubt it. --Ray Depends on what they're doing.

Actually I take that back. Oracle 9i server -- Isn't that free for Linux? or so I read somewhere Vikram Khurana wrote: The high price maybe because they have Oracle 9i preinstalled on it & hence price includes the Oracle license, which can be expensive..

However... will Oracle 9i server run fine on a Pentium2 400MHz with 256MB or 512MB RAM? At maximum it would need to support 20 simultaneous clients, but they will only use it for students to create small databases and practice SQL statements against it. No production use.
