Slow but steady success with Oracle 11g R2

$

I'm on my second installation of Oracle 11g R2, having previously installed it using the GUI.

This time around I've used a response file to install the product ( see below )via the command: -

./runInstaller -silent -responseFile response/db_install.rsp

and all seems OK so far.

I did hit a few challenges: -

(i) I don't appear to have the oracle_env.sh script anywhere on my box, meaning that the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID aren't set up.

I manually created the script: -

oracle_env.sh

ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_SID
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
if [ $?LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]
then
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH


and added it into my .bashrc so that it gets executed each time I log in: -

source ~/oracle_env.sh

(ii) the SQL*Plus tool wouldn't connect to the SID. When I ran: -

sqlplus / as SYSDBA

I would see: -

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Thu Apr 25 13:41:40 2013

Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to an idle instance.


Thankfully Google quickly came to my aid: -


which pointed out that I'd set ORACLE_HOME to: -

ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/

rather than: -

ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

The trailing slash ( / ) makes all the difference :-)

Once I updated oracle_env.sh and restarted my shell, I was able to access the SID: -

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Thu Apr 25 13:52:11 2013

Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

which, I think you'll agree, is far far better.

Nice :-)

PS With thanks to Simmo for his ongoing Oracle support :-)
