Installing Personal Oracle 10g

Windows XP, 2000, NT Page 1

Installation of Personal Oracle 10g for Windows XP, 2000 This document contains instructions for installing Personal Oracle 10g on computers using the

Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Workstation operating system. Instructions may vary slightly for each operating system. For example, to see the program listings with Windows XP, you select All Programs from the Start menu, but with Windows 2000, you select Programs from the Start menu. Only significant differences will be noted. Oracle installations can be lengthy, plan for at least an hour for just Personal Oracle. Make sure your operating system has all current updates and patches prior to installation.

SpeedStep Technology and the Oracle Installation We have found that Dell 5000 notebooks using SpeedStep technology need to have SpeedStep

disabled during the Oracle installation. We recommend the disabling of SpeedStep during an Oracle installation if you have this notebook model. It is possible this problem may occur with other notebook models using SpeedStep. We have not seen this problem with IBM Thinkpads.

Installation User Name To install Oracle software, you must login to your computer with the same User name as you

will to use the software. In addition, that User name must be a member of the administrator’s group.

Check Virtual Memory Settings You need a minimum of 768 MB.. See Appendix A on page 56, for operating system specific

instructions on changing virtual memory.

Check Free Disk Space You need 3.5GB of disk space to install Personal Oracle 10g, including 140 MB on the system

drive (usually C:), with the rest of the space on any single uncompressed drive. Oracle documentation uses an additional 600 MB. Oracle Developer Suite 10g uses an additional 1.1GB. See Appendix B on page 58, for operating system specific instructions on checking disk space.

RAM Requirements You need 512 MB minimum, 1024 MB is preferred. Right click on My Computer and choose

Properties to determine your computers currently installed RAM.

administration and configuration tools • Oracle – OraComp10 – Shortcuts to the Oracle Installation Products for the Oracle 10g

Database Companion Products installation program. This start menu item can be consolidated with the Oracle Application Server – OraComp10 menu.



• Oracle Application Server – OraComp10 – Provides shortcuts to start and stop the Oracle HTTP Server.

Starting services like these slow the computer’s startup time and use memory. If you do not

regularly use Oracle, you can switch these services to manual and start them yourself when you want to use the database. See Appendix C, page59, for instructions on starting and stopping services.

The default for preconfigured notebooks in the MISM and MSIT program is for the HTTPServer

(Apache) to manually start, so remember to start this service if you need it. The default is also for the database service to automatically start but not the database itself. See Appendix D for instructions on manually starting the database.

If you change network cards, shut down all Oracle services before installing the new card. Occasionally Oracle becomes corrupted and the Oracle service will start, but the database itself

will not. See Appendix D, page 61 for a workaround.

Completely Removing Oracle from Windows


Appendix F - Completely Removing Oracle from Windows NT/2000/XP

The Oracle Installer does not completely remove all traces of Oracle. To do a clean uninstall, follow the instructions below. These steps are for an installation typically done by Heinz/MISM students.

1. Stop all Oracle programs and services. Close all oracle programs you may have open. Stop all services that begin with Oracle. See Appendix C about how to stop services.

2. Using regedit or regedt32, start the registry editor and remove the following keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Oracle* (all services starting with ‘Oracle’)

3. If you have created any DSN definitions with ODBC, start the ODBC administrator applet and remove any Oracle DSN definitions.

4. Edit your paths and other system variables to remove any reference to Oracle. Remove the PERL5LIB variable.
