Oracle 9i Standalone Database Installation Getting Started Guide

Oracle 9i Personal Edition (Stand-alone) General Purpose DatabaseInstallation Getting Started Guide Preface/Introduction.

by Suzanne Clayton, Iowa State University

Please see FAQs for installation hardware and operating system requirements before you

begin.

This guide is to serve as a reference for installation of the Oracle 9i Database, it does notattempt to be a user guide to the database itself, nor does it cover any changes that would needto be made to install this product with other Oracle products or with the Developer Suite. ThisGuide also does not cover the intricacies of installation on a PC connected to a network.

You must be a registered user with Oracle Technology Network and have a user key for thisproduct before you can begin this installation. Please see this web link for information onregistration http://otn.oracle.com/software/registration/?9ibooksNote: You can also get access to this website when you open the CD and begin the installation

process if you are connected to the Internet at that time.

It is strongly recommended that you back up all data files on the receiving computer prior toattempting this installation. The reason for this is that the deinstallation is not a completeprocess and leaves files on the computer that might make it difficult to perform the installprocess a second time. This is especially true if you are also wishing to install the standalone ornetworked version of the Oracle Developer Suite on the same machine.

Hopefully you will find this Guide very easy to follow, but also complete in its explanation of whatis happening at each step in the installation process. Throughout this Guide there are notesboxes to allow you to take your own notes on passwords/file locations and such.

It is recommended to install from the CD-ROMs as the hard disk space required to copy theCDs to disk and then install from there adds to the disk requirements for this installation. If youhave extra disk space you can do this just note that you will need to direct the installation(directions here are for a load from CD-ROM) to the location of the installation files.
