I come from a MySQL background, and I have been given the challenge
of learning Oracle. I can’t just play around with our customers’
databases, but I remembered that Paul Vallée
said that there is nothing wrong with learning on company time. So I
decided to install my own Oracle database, which I’ll be free to
destroy in every way I can think of… and of course, free to bring it
back to life. Recovering from crashes will probably be the most
difficult part of my adventures in the Oracle world, but let’s take one
step at a time, shall we?
Now, onto Oracle 11g (beta 5) on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).
One little issue is that Ubuntu is unsupported by Oracle. So, through
this text, we will trick the Oracle installer into thinking it’s
actually running on a Red Hat box.
Step Zero
This tutorial was based on a document which can be found here. I have adapted it for Oracle 11g.
Get a copy of Ubuntu 7.04 and install on a machine. I’m using the
32-bit version here (as well as for Oracle). Next, make sure your
system is up-to-date. A simple apt-get update followed by a apt-get upgrade
will do the trick, although you may prefer using the GUI Synaptic
Package Manager — it’s entirely up to you what method you choose.
However, I much prefer to use the command line.
As you go through updates, sometimes a reboot will be needed
(usually to boot from a newer, recently-updated kernel). Sometimes
it’ll just ask you to restart your web browser or some other program as
a new version is installed.
It’s important to have a few gigabytes of free disk space and a
total of 1 GB of memory before starting this. This 1 GB of memory can
be RAM alone or the combination of RAM and swap space. Of course, since
everything runs faster when in RAM, the more of it, the better.
Very important: get Java running before trying to move on. My guess
is that almost any JRE (java runtime) or JDK (java development kit)
will work. I’m not sure which is the minimum version required: I used
Sun JDK 1.5.
Step One
Install some system requirements. There are a few packages that I
had to install on this box (it was a recently installed system which
didn’t have all these packages). After several attempts of installing
Oracle, the equivalent command-line for installing all the necessary
packages at once was something like this:
# apt-get install gcc make binutils lesstif2 libc6 libc6-dev rpm libmotif3 libaio libstdc++5 gawk alien libg++2.8.1.3-glibc2.2 ksh gcc-3.3 g++-3.3 libstdc++5
It’s possible that when installing the packages mentioned above, the
installer will install some other prerequisites as well, as these
packages themselves may have prerequisites.
Step Two
Choose where you are going to install your Oracle 11g server and create the ORACLE_BASE directory. This is the place where Oracle will be installed. Make sure there is at least
3 GB on the partition/mount point before moving to the next step. After
installed, my basic installation took about 3.4 GB on disk (without the
starter database!). As your database grows, it will need more space.
Reserve a total of at least 6 GB for the unpacked installer and the
basic installation. You can get rid of the installer files afterwards.
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
Step Three
Add a few users and change groups to make the installer more
comfortable. Remember, we are tricking the installer to think it’s
installing on a Red Hat box.
# addgroup oinstall
# addgroup dba
# addgroup nobody
# useradd -g oinstall -G dba -p password -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash oracle
# usermod -g nobody nobody
The usermod command is needed since because when running, the installer looks for a user called nobody which is part of a group named nobody (in Ubuntu, the user nobody it’s assigned to nogroup by default).
Step Four
Make some symlinks. Apparently, the installer uses absolute paths, so it must find the binaries in the right places.
# ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
# ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm
# ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
Step Five
We need to mimic the /etc/rc.d directory structure of a Red Hat box. We do this with more symlinks:
# mkdir /etc/rc.d
# ln -s /etc/rc0.d /etc/rc.d/rc0.d
# ln -s /etc/rc2.d /etc/rc.d/rc2.d
# ln -s /etc/rc3.d /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
# ln -s /etc/rc4.d /etc/rc.d/rc4.d
# ln -s /etc/rc5.d /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
# ln -s /etc/rc6.d /etc/rc.d/rc6.d
# ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc.d/init.d
Step Six
I’ve created a file called /etc/redhat-release and put only one line on it. The same can be achieved by issuing the following as root:
echo "Red Hat Linux release 4" > /etc/redhat-release
Step Seven
We tweak the system default limits on a few items. The shared-memory
are specially important, since Oracle relies on shared memory for
process communications. There is a file called /etc/sysctl.conf and it should have these lines on it:
fs.file-max = 65535
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144
Now that they are in a config file, these limits will be issued
automatically at the next boot sequence. For now, we need to make the
system re-read the config file:
# sysctl -p
Now, what do those parameters and values actually mean?
fs.file-max sets the maximum number of open files that can be handled by the Linux kernel.kernel.shmall determines the total amount of shared
memory to be allocated in pages. In this example, I’ve set it to 8GB,
which is way above the amount of memory I can handle in my box, even
with swap.kernel.shmmax controls the maximum amount of memory to be allocated for shared memory which in this example is 2GB.kernel.shmmni defines the maximum number of segments system-wide.net.core.rmem_default and net.core.rmem_max define the default and maximum read buffer queue for network operations (1 MB in this example)net.core.wmem_default and net.core.wmem_max define the default and maximum write buffer queue for network operations (256 KB in this example)net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range tells the kernel the port ranges that will be used for outbound connections.kernel.sem has four parameters:
SEMMSL - semaphores per arraySEMMNS - max semaphores system-wide (SEMMNI*SEMMSL)SEMOPM - max operations per semop callSEMMNI - max number of semaphore arrays
To check your current semaphores configuration, you can run cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem or ipcs -ls. On my machine, after the modifications on sysctl.conf, these commands output:
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
250 32000 100 128
# ipcs -ls
------ Semaphore Limits --------
max number of arrays = 128
max semaphores per array = 250
max semaphores system wide = 32000
max ops per semop call = 100
semaphore max value = 32767
(I really don’t know if these are enough or too much, but I’ll keep you posted.)
For a better understanding of these kernel-tweaking settings, I’d recommend these resources:
Step Eight
Add these lines to /etc/security/limits.conf, letting the oracle
user use more resources than the defaults allowed. You may notice that
all these values are a power of 2 minus one. When soft limits are
exceeded, you’ll get a warning; the hard limits can’t be exceeded in
any situation: you’ll get an error. I’m not completely sure, but I
think these limits apply to each session/login (and since Oracle
doesn’t exactly log in to the machine, my best guess is these limits
apply per instance running).
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16383
oracle soft nofile 1023
oracle hard nofile 65535
Step Nine
Make sure the limits.conf is being interpreted as the oracle user logs in by adding these lines to /etc/pam.d/login. You will want to make sure that is actually happening, since the defaults are way lower and you may get all sorts of problems.
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session required pam_limits.so
Step Ten
Unpack and prepare the installation.
# cd /path/to/zipfile
# unzip linux_11gR1b5_database.zip
(And wait… wait a bit more… go get a cup of coffee…)
After your second cup of coffee, you should have a multi-gigabyte set of files; this is our installer.
# chown -R oracle:oinstall database
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
Step Eleven
Fire up the installer as the oracle user itself. This is what you will probably see on the output window:
# su - oracle
$ cd /path/to/extracted/zip/file
$ ./runInstaller

rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See README.Debian.
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm
There are a few errors that can be safely ignored: the ulimit
and the RPM-related errors, since the limits don’t restrict the
installer and since we actually don’t have a RPM database on the
machine — we are running on Ubuntu, remember?
After a few moments, you will be prompted to choose where to install
the Oracle server. You’ll notice that I asked the installer to not
create a starter database — I did that later. Choose the Oracle Base
and correct the group if needed. I personally recommend sticking with
the defaults if you are a newbie like me.
As you press the Next button, you will be prompted where to install the Inventory — leave it that way
unless you know what you are doing (if this were the case, you wouldn’t
be reading this text anyways). Also correct the OS group name if needed
and hit Next.
Since I’ve chosen to install the server in the same directory as the oracle user’s HOME directory, the installer will issue a warning. I simply ignored it and continued with the installation.
After that warning, I tried to perform some prerequisite tests, and yes — some will fail. Just mark the failed boxes and hit Next (after trying a few times to fix those issues, I’ve decided to call the installer’s bluff and… it worked!)
After all this warning stuff, it’ll ask you to check the list of
products to be installed. I was amazed when I read that 122 different
products would be installed on my box. Hit Next.
Go get some coffee.
And some more coffee.
And even more coffee.
You may like to go to the washroom after so much time drinking
coffee. Remember: I was installing on a 3 GHz machine with 1 GiB of RAM
with SATA2 disks — this box is supposed be blazing fast.
At some point, it will ask you to run some commands as root. Do that when it asks, since the install depends on a few modifications on the base system (like creating the /etc/oratab file).
$ sudo -s
Password:
# /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/orainstRoot.sh
Changing permissions of /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory to 770.

After these scripts finish their execution (the errors seem to be
ignorable), hit the OK button and you’ll have a window that (probably)
will look like this one:
Just hit OK to get out the installer. The basic installation is… not over yet.
To allow Oracle start on boot-up, create a file called oracledb (or whatever name you want to call it) and put it in /etc/init.d with the contents below. This script was copied and pasted from a tutorial by Graham Williams. It will read the /etc/oratab and fire up any instances it finds.
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/init.d/oracledb
#
# Run-level Startup script for the Oracle Instance, Listener, and Web Interface
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

# if the executables do not exist -- display error
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORACLE_HOME ]

After saving the file, make it executable
# chmod a+x /etc/init.d/oracledb
and if you want, make it run at every boot:
# update-rc.d oracledb defaults 99
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/oracledb ...
/etc/rc0.d/K99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
/etc/rc1.d/K99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
/etc/rc6.d/K99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
/etc/rc2.d/S99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
/etc/rc3.d/S99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
/etc/rc4.d/S99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
/etc/rc5.d/S99oracledb -> ../init.d/oracledb
Before finishing, add the following lines to your /etc/profile
. Be careful, since these values are valid system-wide. So make sure
the paths are set according to your particular setup (if you have been
doing everything according to this text, you should be fine).
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin
Last operation: add yourself to the dba group. You can use usermod or just edit the /etc/groups file and add your username at the end of the line that starts with dba (my username is ‘bott’):
dba:x:1002:oracle,bott
If you chose to not create a starter database during your install,
you’ll have to do two extra steps. You should create a listener (with netca) and after that, create the starter database (also with netca).
If you chose to have the installer create a database for you, then you
should be fine, since when doing that, it asks for a password for the
default accounts (SYS, SYSTEM, and DBSNMP, SYSMAN if you choose to install it with the enterprise manager option selected).
If everything has gone well, open a terminal window and, as the oracle user, type:
$ sqlplus

Enter user-name:
If you see these messages (and I sincerely hope you do) you’re all
set! That means that you have finished a quite long install of Oracle
11g and you are ready to begin destroying it, just as I plan to as I
take my first steps with Oracle. Some might say that going from Oracle
to MySQL would make for an easier transition — I really don’t know, but
I will post further entries on my experiences as I go.
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate your feedback, especially if we
can improve this tutorial so that more people can benefit from it.

一、给Ubuntu配置JAVA环境
操作系统版本：Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy
JAVA版本：JAVA 6
在Ubuntu下安装JAVA虚拟机和SDK（开发包）是非常轻松容易的：
联网的情况下在终端下输入命令
$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-sdk
这条命令就可以帮助下载并安装JAVA6了，顺便再给浏览器安装JAVA支持：
$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
安装完这三个之后还需要写入系统变量：
$sudo gedit /etc/environment
在文本编辑器里写入下面两行内容：
CLASSPATH=.:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/lib
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
还要将系统虚拟机的优先顺序也调整一下：
$sudo gedit /etc/jvm
在文本编辑器里将下面一句写在最顶部：
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
接下来在终端中输入命令：
$java -version
终端应该返回如下字样：
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
这就说明JAVA环境已经建立好了，你可以用文本编辑器写一个JAVA HelloWorld!程序执行一下javac编译并java来解释执行看看效果。
二、安装配置Eclipse+MyEclipse
Eclipse是一个开源免费的软件开发工具（IDE），是一个基于JAVA的可扩
展的开发平台，准确来说Eclipse提供的是一个框架和一组服务，
Eclipse的开放可扩展性使得Eclipse拥有大量的插件可以扩展Eclipse的开发能力和功能，不仅仅局限于JAVA开发。所以虽然
Eclipse是使用JAVA编写的，但不仅仅可以用来进行JAVA开发，还可以用于C/C++等语言的开发，只要你安装相应的插件来扩展。
Eclipse最初是由IBM向开源社区捐赠的开发框架，IBM开发技术网站上有Eclipse的大量技术资料：
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cn/eclipse/
MyEclipse是用来扩展Eclipse的J2EE的开发功能的，所以基本上很多人使用Eclipse都会随之安装MyEclipse，MyEclipse也是Eclipse的插件。
对Eclipse和MyEclipse的介绍就到此了，正文开始：
首先在你的主文件夹（/home/[your name]）下建立一个目录用于存放Eclipse，在shixinyu我的机子上是建立了一个JAVA目录在/home/shixinyu下。
先去Eclipse官方网站上下载Eclipse，目前最新版本是3.3.1.1：
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
shixinyu我下载的是Eclipse Classic 3.3.1.1这个版本
下载完后将下载到的压缩文件可直接解压缩其文件夹eclipse到/home/[your name]/JAVA下，可直接双击执行eclipse
接下来下载MyEclipse：
http://www.myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-4.html
需 要下载与Eclipse 3.3相匹配的MyEclipse 6.0
GA这个版本，下载前需要注意一点，MyEclipse是一个商业软件，只能免费试用30天，30天之后必须提交订阅码才能继续使用。授权费用为标准版是
32美元，专业版是53美元。如果你有兴趣并且也愿意为此掏钱，那么请购买授权，否则想要继续使用，请自行处理。
下载完MyEclipse之后，得到的是一个.bin的文件，打开终端，使用cd命令进入MyEclipse安装文件所在目录，如shixinyu的是存放在/home/shixinyu/Downlads下的，那么就是输入命令：
$cd /home/shixinyu/Downloads
然后键入命令：
$sudo sh MyEclipse_6_0_1GA_E3_3_1_Installer.bin
随后就会启动一个GUI的安装程序。
单击“Next“按钮继续，选择“I accept...“：
在这里选择Eclipse所在目录，单击“Choose“按钮来选择，shixinyu的就是选择“/home/shixinyu/JAVA/eclipse“：
接下来选择MyEclipse的安装位置，我选择在"/home/shixinyu/JAVA/MyEclipse"这里（事先已经建立了MyEclipse这个目录）：
接下来选择Link Folder，可以保持默认选择继续：
接下来就可以安装了，单击“Install“按钮：
安装好后进入/home/shixinyu/JAVA/eclipse直接双击执行eclipse即可自动识别出MyEclipse，想要在“应用程序“里建立菜单？
那么在终端下执行命令：
$sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Eclipse.desktop
在文本编辑器里复制粘贴下面内容
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=/home/shixinyu/JAVA/eclipse/eclipse
Icon=/home/shixinyu/JAVA/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Development;
|
保存这个文件后，就会在“应用程序”下的“编程”中出现Eclipse的快捷方式。
你可以在Eclipse里新建一个Projects后新建一个Class来写一个HelloWorld!程序测试一下。
