oracle 8i installation problem.

[Innila]

Hi vmshenoy,

Checked out the Oracle OTN site, if u want to go for Oracle 9i or 10g version, the database downloads are available.
I'm not sure about the download conditions for 9i, but very sure that the 10g download was for free, so u can try any of them.

Oracle9i Database Downloads

Oracle10g Database Downloads

My friend has installed the 10g from OTN & it was working fine.
If u install the Database, give your suggestions about the download & installation over here, so that it will be helpful for others.

hi ,

when you are installing oracle 8i it does not ask for host name .
it may ask for global database name and system id (SID) .(plz check it)

and give the unique name in the global database name as u wish (let sct.domain)

and in the SID (let sct --automatically taken).
