5.5. Oracle notes5.5.1.5.5.1.1. Why Oracle?Oracle is a powerful, tunable, scalable and reliable industrial RDBMS. It provides some functionalities which are absent in simple freeware RDBMS like MySQL and PostgresSQL, such as: transactions support, concurrency and consistency, data integrity, partitioning, replication, cost-based and rule-based optimizers, parallel execution, redo logs, RAW devices and many other features. Although Oracle is a very functional database, the additional qualities like reliability impose some overhead. In fact, providing many advantages Oracle has some disadvantages. For example great tenability requires more experienced DBA, redo logs support provide great reliability against instance and media failures but requires more efficient disk system. I think you should select Oracle as a database for DataparkSearch if you want to search through hundreds of megabytes or several gigabytes of information, reliability is one of the primary concerns, need high availability of the database, and you are ready to pay higher sums for hardware and Oracle DBA to achieve better quality of service. 5.5.1.2. DataparkSearch+Oracle8 Installation RequirementsIn order to install DataparkSearch with Oracle RDBMS support you must ensure the following requirements:
5.5.1.3. Currently supported/tested platformsOracle versions:
Operation systems:
Oracle Server may be ran on any platform supporting tcp/ip connections. I see no difficulties to port DataparkSearch Oracle driver to any commercial and freeware unix systems, any contribution is appreciated. 5.5.2. Compilation, Installation and Configuration5.5.2.1. CompilationOracle 8.0.5.X and Linux RedHat 6.1
./Configure --with-oracle8=oracle_home_dir make make install If you have any troubles, try to put CC = i386-glibc20-linux-gcc in the src/Makefile, this is old version of gcc compiler for glibc 2.0. 5.5.2.2. Installation and ConfigurationCheck whether Oracle Server and Oracle Client work properly. First, try DataparkSearch service is accessible [oracle@ant oracle]$ tnsping DataparkSearch 3 TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 8.0.5.0.0 - Production on 29-FEB-00 09:46:12 (c) Copyright 1997 Oracle Corporation.

Attempting to contact (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=ant.gpovz.ru)(Port=1521)) OK (10 msec) OK (0 msec) OK (10 msec) Second, try to connect to Oracle Server with svrmgrl and check whether DataparkSearch tables were created [oracle@ant oracle]$ svrmgrl command='connect scott/tiger@DataparkSearch' Oracle Server Manager Release 3.0.5.0.0 - Production (c) Copyright 1997, Oracle Corporation.

Check the library paths in /etc/ld.so.conf
[oracle@ant oracle]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib /usr/lib/qt-2.0.1/lib /usr/lib/qt-1.44/lib /oracle8/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib This file should contain line oracle_home_path/lib to ensure DataparkSearch will be able to open libclntsh.so, the shared Oracle Client library Make symbolic link: ln -s /oracle8/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/network/admin/tnsnames.ora /etc Correct the indexer.conf file You should specify DBName, DBUser, DBPass in order that DataparkSearch can connect to Oracle Server. DBName is the service name, it should have the same name that was written to tnsnames.ora file, DBUSer and DBPass are Oracle user and his password correspondingly. You can run indexer now. Setting up search.cgi Copy the file /usr/local/dpsearch/bin/search.cgi to apache_root/cgi-bin/search.cgi. Then add two lines to apache's http.conf file:
Correct the search.htm to provide DBName, DBUser, DBPass information. search.cgi should work now. |
