Oracle is not supported on Linux, until companies out there start
screaming
for it. But you can run
SCO binaries. (I have installed 7.1 and 7.3 with no problems once they
are
installed. If V8 for SCO
uses shared libraries that do not exist on Linux, then there may be a
problem).
# BRIEF ORACLE ON LINUX NOTES
# AGAIN DO NOT MAIL ME ABOUT ORACLE ON LINUX
Again, if you have a SCO Oracle, the best thing to do is install it
ON YOUR SCO (the install scripts
break when run under Linux) then
# Install at load iBCS2 kernel module on your linux box
# If compiling, disable the Xenix/286 option
#From your SCO box...
mount linuxbox:/ /linuxbox # NFS mount
# Co-ordinate oracle, dba, etc user/group ids
cd $ORACLE_BASE # typically /usr/oracle
find . -print | cpio -pvdm /linuxbox/usr/oracle
# IF YOU HAVE NO SCO BOX
mount /cdrom # SCO Oracle 7.3 Workgroup cd
cd /cdrom
# Make your $ORACLE_BASE directory tree as usual
find . -print | cpio -pvdm /usr/oracle/product/7.3.2.2.0
#use $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oiuncomp to uncompress files as required
# Translate names during uncompression using YMTRANS.TBL files on the CD
# i.e. sed script piped to shell should do it
# Create/edit /etc/oratab, /etc/listener.ora, ......
# Delete /usr/oracle/data/$ORACLE_SID/*
# Get your protection/ownership right
# Use svrmgrl to create your database the usual way
If you want to X tools, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RECENT LESSTIF INSTALLED
You should also FULLY QUALIFY your DISPLAY variable
i.e. 202.14.64.68:0.0
