Oracle 9i: SQL, PLSQL, and SQL *Plus - Software Installation and References

 
Before we actually start with the lessons, we need to install and setup Oracle on your pc to be able to practice. I would recommend all of you to install Oracle before you start with any of our lessons in the following weeks.


Please use discussion board for any questions you might have in this Learning Series. That helps other users answering the same questions. Next week we will be starting with our first lesson. In the mean time please setup your pc with Oracle Software.


Follow the link to download the appropriate version accorind to your operating system. Download Oracle 9i. You need to register with Oracle for free account to download the free educational version. if you are on windows, I would recommend to get this: Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP.


Click here Installation Instructions on how to install Oracle 9i on Windows PC.


Click here Installation Instructions on how to install Oracle 8i on Windows PC.


The following, short Installation Guide shows how to install Oracle 9.2.0 for SUN Solaris 8. You may download our scripts to create a database, we suggest this way and NOT using DBASSIST. Besides this scripts, you can download our SQLNET configuration files TNSNAMES.ORA. LISTENER.ORA and SQLNET.ORA.

Click Here Installation Instructions on how to install Oracle 9i under RedHat Linux 8.x and 9.x


Click Here Installation Instructions on how to install Oracle 9i under Mac


Even if you are a windows user, I would recommend you to take a look the installation procedure on Unxi also since most of the Production environments are based on Unix.


What Oracle Software will I need to learn Oracle?

Given the vast array of products listed above, one should assume it is not feasible to learn ALL of the Oracle products at one time. Below is a suggested series of steps to gradually build your Oracle knowledge using the minimum amount of software.



If you have a reasonably equipped PC (256 MB RAM, 15 GB disk space free, Windows 2000 or XP Professional OS), you can run both a server instance and the client tools on the same machine.


If your goal is to ... Acquire this software...
Learn the basics of SQL, Stored Procedures, Triggers and the Oracle data dictionary
e.g., in preparation for the first OCP exam.
Personal Oracle 8i for Windows NT/2000 or Windows 98 (includes the DBMS and SQL*Plus tool)
OR, if you have the necessary disk space and at least 256 MB of RAM, consider Personal Oracle 9i for Windows NT/2000/XP or Windows 98.
Learn how to develop client side applications (forms, reports)
e.g., for development of a 2 or 3 tier client/server project
Personal Oracle 8i or 9i (see above) and Oracle Developer 6i or Oracle Developer 9i
Learn how to develop client side applications in Java (forms, reports)
e.g., for development of a 2 or 3 tier client/server project
Personal Oracle 8i or 9i (see above) and Oracle JDeveloper 9i

Richard Rea said:

  Gulrez,
You may have to get a new group of CD's from Oracle or download Oracle 9i from Oracle's website to a computer and save to CDs. I had this problem with the first disk, and I was able to fix it using the downloaded version. Keep in mind that if you don't have at least a T1 line the download will take something like 17 hours and may timeout due to bandwidth constraints with your ISP. This is my opinion but I think sometimes when they make the 3 cds one of the files at the end of the disk is getting corrupted by truncation.
Good luck!

Chris_Jones said:

  I find all free training sites go directly to teaching SQL. I want help in operating Oracle. In Windows SQL server, starting SQL server, creating a database and writing SQL statements is easy. But in Oracle I don't know what to do. I've successfully installed the software (9i) but am unable to create my own database and to start practicing . What I am saying is what are the necessary steps to start operating the Oracle program. Can anyone help me in showing me how to start Oracle, how to creat a database and so on. I am scared to do anything in case I screw up.
