In order for you to be able to complete the exercises it will be necessary for your workshop environment to meet the minimum requirements stated below. There are different configurations from which you may choose to work and the requirements for each configuration differ. These are the configurations for which we will provide system requirements: · · · Standalone workstation. Client/server configuration. Web-based access. Please bear in mind that installations which exceed the minimum requirements stated will often result in better performance. Standalone Workstation System Requirements If you choose to perform the workshops from a standalone workstation, the software requirements for your system are as follows: · Any edition of the Oracle database, including the Personal Edition, is acceptable and must be installed on your system. All editions of Oracle include the SQL*Plus product, which is also required. While the latest version of the database is slightly preferred, this course book may also be used with older versions of the database. Access to an ID within the Oracle database with CONNECT and RESOURCE roles granted. These roles will provide the user with a minimum set of rights to work with their own private set of data. Generally a sample ID named SCOTT with a password of TIGER is automatically created during installation of an Oracle database and this may be used if desired. Any operating system which supports the above-mentioned Oracle products is acceptable. Even though the system is working standalone, a network protocol such as TCP/IP must be installed within the operating system and working correctly. This is a requirement for the operation of the Oracle database. · · · Exact hardware requirements can change from one release of Oracle to another and will especially vary depending upon the Oracle edition you have installed, but generally the following hardware requirements should be adequate. However, you might check the release notes included with your copy of the Oracle software to confirm these minimum requirements: Copyright © 2004 Sideris Courseware Corporation.
