Manual:Oracle/ja

一部の Linux ディストリビューションにはこれをインストールするためのパッケージがありますが、すべてではありません...

Installing Oracle XE on linux (manually)
Oracle XEはエントリーレベルのデータベースで、無料で使用可能ですが、この場合一部機能に制限があります. 


 * 使用しているシステムのCPUのみを使用します.
 * will use only up to 1 Gb of RAM
 * is limited to 1 server/database instance per machine
 * is limited to 11G of user-space data

Follow the installation procedure is described in the XE installation manual.

''' If you're installing this DB for occasional use MAKE SURE you set it up so it will not start at boot. This DB goes through resources like the Cookie Monster through a Bahlsen factory '''

Some basic DBA commands can be found on XE DBA Documentation page but in most cases you can use DB control interface that can be accessed trough DB's http port (the one you selected when you ran "oracle-xe configure")

Installing Oracle Instant Client on linux (manually)
Follow the instructions found at Oracle's PHP documentation page.

If you are not using the "hostname/servicename" connection string format (e.g. "localhost/xe"), and instead use an alias from a tnsnames.ora file, then after you have your PHP environment set up add the TNS_ADMIN variable to your PHP startup environment. This variable must contain the location (directory only) where your tnsnames.ora file is located. This file contains TNS definitions of the databases you will be accessing (local or remote). If you have previously set up XE on this machine this variable should point to '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/network/admin'. このファイルがアパッチプロセスで読み込めるかどうか確認してください.

After you have OCI8 enabled and TNS_ADMIN set in your PHP env you can now install MW normally. TNS name of default XE install is usually 'XE'.
