|
|
<P>The Client Software for the Oracle 9i database can be run on any platform,
|
|
so you may download the client for the platform you desire (whichever is
|
|
available of course). I personally like to have client software on
|
|
both DB server and on a MS Windows workstation. This makes me
|
|
experience multi-platform database control, or so I think. :)
|
|
<P>Download and prepare the CD with the client on the same platform you will
|
|
run it from. It is not necessary, but it is recommended you have a CD with
|
|
it. Although you may run the installation process from your HDD where
|
|
you downloaded the client, I recommend you spend few pennies on a CD
|
|
burner. It always becomes handy.
|
|
<P>The client is also using the Oracle Universal Installer, so this might
|
|
seem pretty easy after all the previous hassle.
|
|
<P>When you first run the Enterprise Management Console, it will lead you
|
|
to connect to the database. Provide your full database and your SID
|
|
names and try to connect as user SYS with SYSDBA privileges. At some
|
|
point you have to enter the IP address of the database server and chose
|
|
a port the client should connect to. I left the default values
|
|
(as with the network setup on the server as well).
|
|
<P>If you don't see any error messages, that's it. You have done it.
|
|
<P>Enjoy your server and client playgrounds!
