When we begin to work on Oracle in Ubuntu. We have some troubles to run Oracle. Some of the common
mistakes it gives us is that the user is not part of the dba group, or similar errors.I am living a
small guide I did thanks to many google search, so if you want to solve this troubles do the fallowing.
First of all we should add our user name to the dba group.
So we open the terminal an we do the fallowing
sudo usermod -a -G dba your_username
After this we do
sudo chmod g+w /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/log/listener.log
With this we are going to have the menu links “Start Database” and “Stop Database” available for working.
I will recommend user who are going to use frequently Oracle to enable database autostart
For this we do the fallowing
sudo nano /etc/default/oracle-xe
We look for the following text
ORACLE_DBENABLED=false
and we change it to true
ORACLE_DBENABLED=true
Now we do the fallowing
sudo gedit /etc/profile
And we add to the end of the file the fallowing file
. /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh
After this we do the fallowing
sudo cp /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh_original
sudo nano /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh
We change
#!/bin/sh
to
#!/bin/bash
One frequently problem using the SQL command line
When we are going to use the sql command line by the first time. Many users got the problem that we need to enable some permissions. For that we do the fallowing on the terminal
” sudo chmod 6751 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle”
And thats all. If you want to read this article on spanish
