Ubuntu10.10 install the Oracle client

Now I have been using the Ubuntu System for my work. I used to use Widnows to connect Oracle client to the SAP background oralce database. If you don't want to install another Windows server, you have to try the Ubuntu client.

First, go to the oralce official website to download the client corresponding to the server version:

My local system is Ubuntu 10.10x86, and the server is Oracle 10g 10.2.0.2. So my following is:

                   Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) Enterprise/Standard Edition for Linux x86 

                   http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10201linuxsoft-097986.html

Decompress the package: Install the package in shell./runinstaller. First, the system prompts that the operating system is not supported.

In redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2 system mounting.

After searching online, you can add a file to cheat the installer.

sudo vim /etc/redhat-release 

Add the following content and save
Entos release 4.4 (final)

 

 

The following steps are simple. At last, we will execute two scripts as root like installing the Oracle server.

If the/bin/awk directory cannot be found during script execution, create a symbolic link.

Ln-S/usr/bin/awk

Run the oemapp command (note the PATH variable or in the ORACLE_HOME directory) to open the corresponding management tool.

~/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1/bin/oemapp console
You can create a menu bar or a shortcut key on the panel.
