installing 9.0.1 on SuSe 7.2

[LaoDe]

Hi,

Anybody ever done this ?

At least I would like only to get the core Oracle-system installed and then getting a create-database.sql script, as it was possible with all former versions.

But I can't get around x-server and have to use those terrible gui-tools, which always do things I can't control.

The machine is big enough for everything (750 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD) and it looks like as if Oracle-software-installation went fine.

But the net-wizzard just hangs and Apache could not be installed.

How ever, I don't need all that Gui + html toys, I just need to have a core databse.

I've been told to stricly use the database-creation wizzard to configure a seed-database, which I did, but I can't see any create-database.sql script.

How to rerun a creation wizzard ?
where are the generated scripts ?
All I see is a discription file (html) in /tmp.

please help me coming back to a real command-line driven Oracle.

thanks for any tip, also docu-hints are welcome.

kindest regards LaoDe

Hi.
The executeable for the Creation-Wizard is called dbca. As far as I remember the default-directory for the creation-scripts is:
$ORACLE_HOME/admin/$ORACLE_SID/scripts
but you can browse to put the scripts anywhere (so I'm not sure).
The dscript is now called CreateDB.sql by default (in case you were looking for Create_$ORACLE_SID).

Thanks for the tip Stefanhei,

Well I knew this source for running the create-database-wizard already, the point was it could not execute all parts of the create-steps succesfully in 9.0.1 while in 9.2.0.1 runInstaller itself could not overcome the point of listing the selected product. (all that tested on 2 different machines).

I was able to succesfully install 9.0.1, after running all generated scripts manually, even so DBCA just hanged.

A friend told me, I might have an old JDK, but it is the Oracle-required version Blackdown 1.1.8 v3.

I know that is not the latest and so I'll have to try something more new.

any expoerience with certain JDK-versions + runInstaller ???

This is a description of the installation of Oracle 9 on Mandrake 8.2, it might be helpful. Stick to your guns
