New Database
Well, Dave has set me up a virtual box, and we are going to install an Oracle 10g database on it just for fun. We're looking for a new landing place for some of our Oracle databases, plus since Maverick died on us we need a spot for the CBORD upgrade to land.
So far I've been able to copy over the downloads from Oracle, which I had already saved, and unzipped them.
New day: This morning Dave and I got together and tried the Oracle 10gR2 install into the container. We kept getting an "out of memory" error when Oracle tried configuring the database. We did successfully install the db onto the root system (much more ram and disk space), but haven't yet gotten a successful install into the container.
The out of memory error appears to be connected to a bug in the way that the new "project" method for setting OS parameters is implemented. The project parameters may not be allocated to a particular Oracle session. Dave is looking at this problem.
Well, we've proceeded to get a db installed into a Solaris container. Dave made it happen, not sure what was required.
Next step is to set up some test queries to compare the processing times between the db on the main hardware and the db in the container.
