Oracle 10.2

rafdre · May 17, 2010, 12:12pm

Hello
I consider installation of Oracle 10gR2 on OpenSuse 11.2 86_x64
Does anybody have good experience with this? I mean: if installation works fine and if performance is reasonable.
It will be used for testing Oracle DB. DB database will be quite big (around 160GB).

regards
Rafal

Welcome to the forums !!!

May I suggest you spend a couple of bucks more and get a SLES/SLED license? IME you may want to use a long term support version, which would make you better of with SLES/SLED. No doubt you will also find more support for this in Novell’s SLES/SLED forums. They can be reached from the front page of these forums.

Hi
This is installation for my personal use (self education), so this is why I consider OpenSUSE. No Support is required.
I know how to install Oracle on SLES because I already did it (post on my blog). I just want to check if somebody has experience with openSUSE and if Oracle works fine on free version. I know its rather rare to install this type of software on non-commercial linux, but nevertheless I would be interested to know.
regards

If you already know it works on SLES, I’d expect no problems on openSUSE. I have no experience in using Oracle though.

You could search the forums, I know there have been posts on Oracle usage before

ok.
For the installation process I think should work more or less the same (so I have to change /etc/SuSE-release as well).
I was more interested if somebody used this soft and if see any big differences. Theoretically it shouldn’t be a difference (SLES is only supoort plus some additional tools, but Linux is the same).
thanks! I try to search

probably your best bet!

i have seen several threads and post on Oracle in these fora in the
last couple of years…suggest: you use the forum’s advanced search
function to drag them up to the light of day…
