Obviously, it woulkdn't be much good for a performance server, but for playing and learning, you should be ok. I'm not sure what the requirements for RAM under 9i R2 is, but I've upgraded said PC to 640 Mb RAM (www.crucial.com/uk) and I'm running 9iR2 under Windows 2000 and Linux (mandrake 9.2) on this box now. Linux works best ! Cheers, Norm.      |

Did you have to do anything special to get it running on MD 9.2? |

Don't study anything with Java, as it needs about twice as much memory than a simple instance needs. In other words do NOT install the "standard" pre loaded databases, but create one yourself. Your study starts here. -- Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Frank van Bortel |

For installation you will certainly need the 1G (it seems to be more picky than the running database). We had a Redhat box with 384M of RAM that ran 9.2. It was not an ideal situation. There was a ton of paging activity. If you have a fast disk it might work. Depends on what else you have running on the box (not much, hopefully). |

No problem with that, googling showed a whole lot of dependicies, editing of scripts plus the normal changes to make it run on Redhat. Mandrake's new complier and libraries seem to restrict me to MD 9.0. I having been de-hired (out soursed offshore) with my 8.x oracle and forms 4.x experience I need to learn the newer tools at home re-training. |

Yeah, one little fix. You need to fixup the make file to include an additional library. Head over to www.dizwell.com (Howard's new web site) and download the mandrake installation instructions. If you need more info, then download the red hat install as well - the two go together just perfectly. Everything you need to know is in there. I'm afraid I can't remember off hand which fix I had to do - it's in my notes at home, and home is bl**dy lies away - until tonight !

| Re: 128Mb ram Dunno about Linux. But 9ir2 is running happily in my Windows XP Pro notebook, 256Mb memory, 20G disk, PIII. Mind you I had to do a bit of Win-tweaking to fit Oracle 9iDS in there as well. But it all works. And amazingly, not much paging once it stabilises. It's certainly usable as a test/learn system. Of course, it's not a Tb database... -- Cheers Nuno Souto wizofoz2k@yahoo.com.au.nospam "Norman Dunbar" <norman.dunbar@lfs.co.uk> wrote in message news:3078e2fe.0312181009.2bf36db4@posting.google.c om... > I'm not sure what the requirements for RAM under 9i R2 is, but I've > upgraded said PC to 640 Mb RAM (www.crucial.com/uk) and I'm running > 9iR2 under Windows 2000 and Linux (mandrake 9.2) on this box now. > Linux works best ! > |
