Installation of Oracle Database Express

Edition 11 g Release2 :

This document describes the installation of Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 on RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ) using VMware Workstation.

Introduction:

Oracle Database XE is easy to install. The installation has the following components:

• VMware Workstation

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL5)

• Oracle Database 11 g Express Edition

VMware Workstation :

VMware Workstation is a hypervisor that runs on x64 computers; it enables users to set

up multiple virtual machines (VMs) and use them simultaneously along with the actual machine.

Each virtual machine can execute its own operating system, such as Microsoft Windows, Linux

or BSD variants. As such, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run multiple

operating systems simultaneously.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL):

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a Linux-based operating system developed by Red

Hat and targeted toward the commercial market. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is released in server

versions for x86, x86-64, Itanium, PowerPC and IBM System z, and desktop versions for x86

and x86-64. All of Red Hat's official support and training and the Red Hat Certification Program

centers around the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform.



Oracle Database 11 g Express Edition :

Oracle Database 11 g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) is a free version of the

world's most capable relational database. Oracle Database XE is easy to install, easy to manage,

and easy to develop with. With Oracle Database XE, you use an intuitive, browser-based

interface to administer the database, create tables, views, and other database objects, import,

export, and view table data, run queries and SQLscripts, and generate reports.

Pre requirements for installation of VMware Workstation:

1. Learn about VMware. Make sure you have a thorough understanding of

what it does, its limitations and advantages as well as a general technical

understanding of the concept of a virtual machine. A general knowledge will

help you learn how to use VMWare as well as troubleshoot problems when

they arise. VMWare provides documentation and training on its website.

There are also many books and courses about virtualizing and user groups

devoted to VMWare.

2. Check to make sure your applications support VMWare. Some software

has not been tested to run on a virtual machine. If the application does notrun correctly in VMWare, it may not be supported by the vendor. VMWare is

generally not recommended for gaming or other applications that require

high graphics capability and processing speeds.

3. Find out what operating systems you need to run. VMWare offers

software for Windows and Unix based systems. It supports running multiple

operating systems on a single machine, eliminating the need for dual

booting.

4. Determine your computing needs and objectives. VMWare ranges from

installations for single computers to data center packages that allow you to

virtualize your entire network. It can be used to build a machine which can be

deployed to multiple users, simplifying support and user customization. It can

also be used to host multiple servers on 1 piece of hardware.



5. Run cost calculators and total cost of ownership calculators. This can

help determine whether VMWare for a large enterprise is worth the

investment. The VMWare website allows you to enter information about your

environment to give savings estimates for electricity, hardware and other

categories. Keep in mind other savings such as technical support and

hardware replacement.

Download VMware to try it out before deploying it to the network . Browse to VMWare.com.

Register with VMware by entering contact information and your email address. Save the downloaded file

to your hard drive.

Install VMware. In Windows, VMware installs like other programs, through an installation

program. Unix based systems will require scripting commands to install VMware. Commands

depend on the type of operating system and version.





Build a virtual machine. Instructions for building a machine depend on your operating system

and VMware version. Follow the VMware wizards to walk through adding machines to the

computer.

Create a test environment: Use a virtual machine to run applications and work in

the network environment. Document any technical issues that arise during the trial

period.

Pre requirements for installation of Oracle 10g XE on Linux:

Visit www.Oracle.com and download oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm .

Make sure that you have all dependencies installed:

• glibc >= 2.3.2

• libaio >= 0.3.96

• /bin/sh

• rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

• rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

In a console, as root, type rpm -ivh oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm If all goes well, you should

see this output:

Preparing... ################################## [100%]

1:oracle-xe ################################## [100%]Executing Post-install steps...

oracle-xe 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off

You must run '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user toconfigure the database.

Do as suggested and execute: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure . Accept all default values:

• HTTP Port: 8080

• Database Listener: 1521

• Start on boot: yes

When asked for a password, enter a secure password and write it down. You will need the

password later to create and access your databases.

Wait a few minutes until the database is started. After configuration has been completed you will

see this message:

Installation Completed Successfully.

To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex"

You can verify the installation simply clicking on this link: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex



The user name that you need to login into Oracle database administrator is SYSTEM and the

password is the one that you selected during the installation.

You are now ready to use Oracle with Swordfish. To create a database using Oracle, select

Create Database in Database menu and fill the creation dialogue as follows:

Database Name a name of your choice

Database Type Oracle

Instance/DB XE

Server Name localhost

Port Number 1521

User Name SYSTEM

Password The password you selected during installation

Notice the values in bold in the table above. You will have to enter them exactly as they appear on the table, like in this picture:
