Oracle Database 18.3.0 installation on premises

Oracle Database 18.3.0 installation on premisesOracle Database 18.3.0 is available on Linux since July 23, 2018. And I wanted to quickly sneak into the Oracle Database 18.3.0 installation on premises. I did blog about the Oracle 18c installation a few weeks ago but this was a plain 18.1.0. This time I install the 18.3.0 on-prem edition for Linux.

Oracle Database 18.3.0 installation on premises

Are the any differences between an 18.1.0 and the 18.3.0 installation? No, there aren’t any (at least not anything I recognized). The most important thing: you must unzip the downloaded file into your future destination directory.

In my case I unzip:

mkdir /u01/app/oracle/product/18
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/18
unzip /media/sf_TEAM/LINUX.X64_180000_db_home.zip

Then call the install script:

./runInstaller

This short video demonstrates the installation process:

.

And finally run root.sh:

su root
passwd: oracle

cd /u01/app/oracle/product/18
./root.sh
exit

That’s it.

One addition: If you wonder about the new environment variables ORACLE_BASE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG: Those are used to the Read-Only Home feature since Oracle 18c. Find more information in MOS Note:2409465.1 (Oracle 18c – Configuring Read Only OracleHome / DBCA / Patching / Upgrade).
