Oracle Database 10g for Windows Vista…

I’ve been on holiday for a few days, so this latest release passed me by.

Oracle Database 10g Downloads

PS. Please don’t ask me for help installing Oracle on Vista. I’ve never done it and I don’t plan on trying. Instead I would advise you use VMware Server or Virtual Box to run Oracle on Oracle Enterprise Linux. A much neater solution in my opinion.

    Hi.

    I’ve never used it so I don’t know. I guess my first suggestion would be to redownload it and try again. Also, don’t use the default unzip mechanism in Vista. It’s slow and unreliable. Download WinZip and use that instead.

    Cheers

    Hi.

    I would expect it to be supported on all versions of Vista, but I’ve never tried the installation, so I don’t know if it works.

    Just make sure you download the Vista-specific version.

    Cheers

    Hi.

    You need to install an Oracle client on the Vista machine so you can access the server.

    Hi.

    You can get the Database software for Windows here:

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html

    You need the database software, not the client.

    If you are installing Oracle 11g it comes with SQL Developer. If you are installing Oracle 10g, you will have to download and install SQL Developer here:

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/sql/index.html

    The windows installations are pretty straight forward. If you have an specific questions please ask them on my forum:

    Hi.

    This should be part of the Oracle client installation. Pick a custom installation and you should see it on the list.

    I’ve never installed Oracle on Vista. All I know is you need the Vista specific download. The normal Windows version of Oracle is not suitable.

    Has anyone ever actually had success installing Oracle 10.2.0 on Vista Home Premium? I see several people asking questions related to that and it seems that Tim consistently only responds that the Vista specific version must be downloaded. I’ve downloaded that and it will still not properly install.

    Hi.

    The reason I always give the same answer is explained 2 posts above yours if you had read it. It quite clearly states:

    “I’ve never installed Oracle on Vista.”

    Instead I use VMware Server on Vista and install Oracle on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.x virtual machine.

    I don’t ever plan on installing Oracle on Vista because it is unlikely I will ever be asked to work with Oracle on Vista in a production environment.

    Cheers

    Tim, the post from Michal was addressed to “anyone” … meaning other people reading this blog. I’ve heard that you cannot by a new computer with anything except vista, so there are going to be a lot of people with no other opeating system to use. At work they have forced word 2007 on us and are threating us with Vista, which is why I took a look at this blog. I guess the problem is that people who have installed Vista successfully aren’t reading this … if they exist. VM ware looks like the best solution.

    Either install the Vista version available from OTN or install VMware Server and install Oracle on a decent OS.

    Hi.

    Windows Vista is not a server operating system, so I would not advise running any production system on it. One look at the previous comments will tell you that there are issues with this, since most people can;t get it to actually run successfully on Vista.

    Cheers

    Hi.

    There is no 11gR2 version. All previous versions were released before Windows 7. As a result there is no guarantee any will work.

    There is a 10g version for Vista. You might want to try that, and maybe the 11gR1 version for Windows.

    Remember, Vista and Windows 7 are for client PCs. Oracle is a server product. Support for client installations is always going to be dubious.

    My suggestions is run a virtualization product like VMware Server and install Oracle Enterprise Linux on it. You can then use Oracle properly.

    Cheers
