Installation of Oracle Database 11g-R2

-
Oracle Express Edition can be distributed and can be used to provide third party demonstration and training. (all the above information is taken from oracle.com)

Prerequisites Software:
  1. VMware Workstation (VMware Workstation Link)
  2. Oracle Enterprise Linux (Oracle Enterprise Linux Link)
  3. Oracle Database (Oracle Database Link)
In this guide the below software versions are used: 
  1. VMware Workstation v10.0.0
  2. Oracle Enterprise Linux v5.7 x86-64
  3. Oracle Database Express Edition 11g R2 for Linux x86-64
Installation of VMware Workstation and OEL is not covered in this guide because it is straightforward. Just install them, start them. (Notice that during the installation of OEL you must check oracle-validated-1.1.* package in system tools)

To install Oracle Database Express Edition:
    • Log in as root user and run the executable 'oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm'
    • You must run '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database.
    • Enter the following information:
      • Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:
      • Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:
      • Specify a password to be used for database accounts.  Note that the same
        password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM.  Oracle recommends the use of
        different passwords for each database account.  This can be done after
        initial configuration:
        Confirm the password:
      • Do you want Oracle Database 11g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:
    • Installation will complete successfully and will start automatically in next reboot.
    •  This completes configuration. You can use any Oracle client to connect to Oracle instance.

    Configure IP address on Oracle Linux

    -
    Adding IP address in Oracle Linux can be done by editing the network-scripts. While this procedure is tested on Oracle Linux, i'm sure it should work on  Redhat Enterprise Linux and other versions of Redhat . Editing network - scripts    The network interface configuration files are found in the directory:     /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/   To add an IP address to an interface eth0  # cd  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/  # vi ifcfg-eth0   Enter the below parameters for static configuration   DEVICE="eth0"  BOOTPROTO="static"  BROADCAST="192.168.2.255"  HWADDR="00:0C:29:DS:22:26"  IPADDR="192.168.2.2"  NETMASK="255.255.255.0"    NETWORK="192.168.2.0"     ONBOOT="yes"  TYPE="Ethernet"   Save the file by typing  ESC :wq   R estart the network service for the changes to take effect.    # service network restart

    Oracle Directory Object

    -
    Oracle offers two ways  for a session to read or write operating system files. 1.Oracle directories 2. UTL_FILE package UTL_FILE package contains many PL/SQL procedures for manipulating directory objects. Operating system directories that can be accessed by UTL_FILE are only those listed in UTL_FILE_DIR instance parameter. This parameter default to NULL but can be set to any comma separated list as well as * (wildcard) which means any directory in operating system. SQL > SELECT   NAME, VALUE             FROM     V$PARAMETER             WHERE    UPPER(NAME) = 'UTL_FILE_DIR' Result --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- utl_file_dir             NULL All the directories listed will be visible to all sessions. To give a value for UTL_FILE_DIR parameter file use the following command. SQL > sqlplus /...

    TIME INTERVAL in Oracle

    -
    Understanding TIME INTERVAL Data Types in Oracle INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH and INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND are two data types added to store interval of two dates. They can be use both in SQL and PL/SQL. The syntax is as below: INTERVAL YEAR[(year_precision)] TO MONTH INTERVAL DAY[(day_precision)] TO SECOND[(fractional_seconds_precision)] There are defaults for precision. Two digest for year and day and six digest for fractional seconds. SQL>   SELECT INTERVAL '5-9' YEAR TO MONTH FROM DUAL Result: +05-09 Cover a time interval of 5 years and 9 months SQL>   SELECT INTERVAL '7 15:20:07.7' DAY TO SECOND FROM DUAL Result: +07 15:20:07.700000 Cover a time interval of 7 days, 15 hours, 20 minutes, 7 seconds and 7 milliseconds. SQL>   SELECT INTERVAL '7 15:20:07.7' DAY TO SECOND(1) FROM DUAL Result: +07 15:20:07.7 Cover a time interval of 7 days, 15 hours, 20 minutes, 7 seconds and 7 milliseconds.
