Install Oracle12c on a 64-bit Win8 System

After three hours of hard work, Oracle 12c was successfully installed on the 64-bit win8 system. This article mainly summarizes some problems encountered during the installation process for later reference.

First, I will list the main configurations of my machine:

1. System: win8, 64-bit

2. Memory: 8 GB

1. Download Oracle 12c

Go to the Oracle official website to download it. The address is http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html.

If you need an account for downloading, register one or use some public accounts on the Internet. In fact, you can use thunder to download it directly without entering the account and password.

Here we select the installation package that matches our test environment.

Ii. Install Oracle 12c

The installation interface and installation process are similar to 11g R2.

Iii. OEM

Enter https: // localhost: 5500/em/login in the browser to open the OEM.

Enter your account and password.

It is worth mentioning that the OEM Management page uses the Flash interface completely, and the user experience is better than the previous version.

4. Install PLSQL Developer

For Development, you may need to install PLSQL Developer. Let's just move on to the next step. After installation, a shortcut is generated on the desktop.

5. Prepare InstallClient

The InstallClient is prepared to connect PLSQL Developer (32-bit) to Oracle 12c (64-bit ).

To prepare InstallClient, you must first download it. Download the package at http://www.oracle.com/index.html.

Click to enter the download page, select Instant Client for Microsoft Windows (32-bit), and download.

After the download is complete, decompress the package to the disk directory.

For example, my: F :\ install software \ development tools \ Database \ oracle12c \ instantclient_12_1

After InstallClient is ready, prepare PLSQL Developer.

Procedure:

1. Choose PLSQL Developer> Tools> preferences> connection.

2. Set the Oracle Home directory name to F: \ install software \ development tools \ Database \ oracle12c \ instantclient_12_1.

3. Set the OCI library to F: \ install software \ development tools \ Database \ oracle12c \ instantclient_12_1 \ oci. dll

After setting, close PLSQL Developer, restart, and log on successfully.
