|
|
|
|
<P>This document intends to show a simplified installation sequence for
|
|
Oracle 9i database on RedHat Linux 8.x and 9.x. It is meant only as an
|
|
example and if one intends to follow it, he/she should have in mind
|
|
their own version of Linux, Oracle distribution and specific parameters
|
|
of their own PC system.
|
|
<P>This document also limits the installation information to Linux only,
|
|
and is not intended to be used for other UNIX brands. To install Oracle
|
|
9i in other operating environments, use the Oracle Installation Guide.
|
|
<P>I am not a DBA, nor I intend to show high skills in Oracle
|
|
Administration, so please, do not ask me DBA questions. I will leave
|
|
this task to the experienced DBAs :)
