Installing Oracle 10g Database


Once you have downloaded the software from www.oracle.com/downloads, following steps can be used to install the software.

1. Unzip the dump downloaded from oracle.com




2. Once Unzipped, click on setup.exe to run Oracle Universal Installer Program. This will open a window as shown below.




3. After few seconds, this will open up Oracle Universal Installer screen.


4. Enter the password as desired and click next. If required you can change the database name, by default its 'orcl'.



Installer performs few tests checking the system stability, just have to wait till then.











5. Check the report, it says failed. Looking at it closely since the system on which the database was installed was not on network. This is not mandatory. You can click and proceed further.



6. Once the checks are done click next which will take you to summary screen, you can browse through the products which will be installed along with your database. Check for SQL*Plus client.



7. After Review, click on install to install the database along with the products listed in the summary page.


8. Sit back and relax till the time dabase gets installed. Following screen changes occur during the installation process.





9. Once the Installation is complete, it gives some basic information about the database installed and the URL for EM -- Enterprise Manager. Click OK to proceed to next screen.







10. If you reach this screen then it means that you have been successfull in installing the database. Just Click on exit and start using your database.

To open SQL Plus use the following Navigation,

Go to  --> Start --> Programs --> Oracle - OraDb10g_home2 --> Application Development --> SQL Plus

11. First time you try to login as scott/tiger, it would throw an error as shown below,


To get rid of this error, login as SYSTEM for password use the password that was speficied during step3 of this installation process.

Once logged in, use the sql statement below to unlock scott user.

Once this is done, login as scott tiger and it should work. It might as to change the old password with a new one, In this case use "tiger" as old password.

Thanks.

Hi Rajani Kanth,

Yes even metadata is data, but this data is not user data. Metadata is databases data.

Hi Anonymous,

You should run it in compatible mode set to XP because on some versions of Win 7 has issues with installation.

I had disabled oracle services and had kept it in manual mode.After manually starting the services, i started using oracle SQL * Plus, but in the user name & password prompt i typed Scott & tiger respectively, but its saying invalid username & password, why is that so, this was not throwing error when oracle services used to load automatically.

Hi Anonymous,

You must have entered the password wrong. I would suggest you try to login again. Between scott user does not exist in Express Edition.

Hi sir,
I tried this query..
select sal,lpad(sal,5,'*'),rpad(sal,5,'*'),trim('*' from lpad(sal,5,'*')),trim('*' from rpad(sal,5,'*')) from emp;
the o/p is..
SAL LPAD( RPAD( TRIM( TRIM(
---------- ----- ----- ----- -----
800 **800 800** 800 800
1600 *1600 1600* 1600 1600
1250 *1250 1250* 1250 1250
2975 *2975 2975* 2975 2975
1250 *1250 1250* 1250 1250

1300 *1300 1300* 1300 1300
i found there is no difference in the alignment of triming lpad & rpad..
could you explain me why?
October 13, 2011 at 1:08 AM

Hi Anonymous,

This is because you are just using 5 character length to display the numbers, try using 10 instead of 5 and you will see the difference.

Hi
I wanted to share with you guys.

I was installing orcale 10 g windows 64bit, (Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows (x64)), If you guys have downloaded the above version by mistake instead of "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows". And you have windows 7 64bit os, you will face problem when you try to click on run "checking operating system version: must be 5.1 or 5.2. Actual 6.1 Failed <<<<"
Nothing to worry, You need to edit the file oraparam after extracting, path is Database--->Install---> then oraparam.ini search for the string CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
below that replace 5.1,5.2 with 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1,7.0 and your done installation will proceed without any problem

IF your still not clear below is the video

'Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device' While trying to start the database -- Error

SQL> startup mount pfile='/tmp/initdlfasp12.ora'
ORA-27102: out of memory
Linux-x86_64 Error: 28: No space left on device


This as you can see is on Linux x86 with 64 bit processor. We got this error after we changed SGA on 10gR2 database. So was sure that this is something to do with the OS.

Parameters to check for this are shmall.

shmall is the total amount of shared memory, in pages, that the system can use at one time.

$cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
53687091200

$ getconf PAGE_SIZE
4096

As per Oracle SHMALL should be set to the total amount of physical RAM divided by page size.

Our system has 64GB memory, so change kernel.shmall = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 64 / 4096 = 16777216


Once this value is calculated you can modify Linux system configuration file directly.

$ su - root
vi /etc/sysctl.conf file:
kernel.shmall=16777216

and

# sysctl -p

Once this is done the database was started without any problem.
