Re: Oracle Apple releases

It's actually out and available now - 10.1.0.3 "early adopter release" or some such nonsense. There are three installers, one for the database, one for client, and a "companion CD" - I haven't figured out what that is yet.

It offers enterprise and standard edition as options, and it seems like most of the normal 10g options are available, including ASM. This is in pleasant contrast to the 9i OS X release, which didn't have a real installer and was only standard edition.

Today is the rare day lately I get to do hard tech stuff, so I took some time to try to install it on my mac laptop - followed all the steps, but it failed during linking. I've got the appropriate version of gcc, though its a different build than listed by Oracle, because they technically require OS X Server. I'm downloading the updated development tools overnight (600 megs - ugh) and I'll see if it links then. So far, it looks a lot more like a real Oracle installer, especially compared with the 9i developer release.

If I get it up and running, I'll put together a little doc on getting it running and what seems to work.

Thanks,
Matt
