Oralce 8i installation guide

[jn1971]

Hi GUrus,
I am a novice to oralce and I am installing an oracle 8i (8.1.7)database onto a unix 8.xx sun -enterprise 250 64bit sparc solaris- OS. If you, gurus have done that, please send me any guidances or documents that would be appreciated very much. Thanks Jeanie

Jeanie,

As a relative neophyte to the Oracle world, installing Oracle on a server can be, as you know, a daunting task. Because of Oracle's many features, installation options are myriad. To try to dispense (here on this forum) the amount of information that one might need to install Oracle and create a smooth-running database to meet your needs, is beyond the scope and efficient capabilities of this forum.

Although we do not encourage an off-line (out-of-forum) treatment of issues, due to the size of the task at hand for you, this is, perhaps an exception to the rule. If you would like off-line assistance on this matter, you may contact dave@dasages.com.
