Overview
Introduction

Thank you for choosing Oracle University. This document contains course specific information only. It
does not describe the steps to install and replicate the technical environment for which this course was
designed. Before proceeding, you may find it helpful to print this document for ease of reference.

This is the setup document for the course Oracle Database 10g: SQL Fundamentals I. Instructions are
provided to set up the server, database accounts, client, middle tier, and class files. Overall, one database
on the server is recommended. The sample schema shipped with the database is used for this course and
cloned for several users using scripts provided. iSQL*Plus is set up on middle tier as an interface to the
server data. The database and midtier server setup is based on Oracle Database 10g for Linux. The
client/middle tier software is based on Oracle Database 10g for Windows 2000/NT.

Configurations

This class setup employs a Client/Server architecture (Linux server, windows client). The database and the
middle tier (iSQL*Plus) are installed on the Linux server. Each student requires one desktop Microsoft
Windows PC.

Please be sure to thoroughly test your configuration and discuss this in detail with your Oracle University
Representative.

Note: iSQL*Plus will be installed and configured with port 5560 automatically. Once configured, it can be
accessed in the browser by typing the URL: <http://Hostname:5560/isqlplus, where
Hostname is the hostname you set up.
The following course specific parameters need to be set in the init.ora file:
query_rewrite_enabled = TRUE

5. Install Courseware on the Server Side. In this phase you will run the scripts to create the user accounts
and tables for the course.
1. Shutdown the database.
2. Unzip the D17108GC21_setup_files.zip file supplied into users home directory. This
zip file has all the setup files for SQL Fundamentals I
3. Start the database using course specific init.ora.
4. Unlock system user account. Ensure that the system user password is oracle.
5. For SQL Fundamentals I:
Run the script setup1.sql. This file will create 20 user accounts named ora1 through
ora20 and an instructor account as teach_a
All the student user accounts ora1 through ora20 and the instructor account teach_a are
created with reduced HR schema.
It is important to note that the scripts specify pathing. If you need to adjust path names, edit the
files.

6. Update the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora with your server name.

7. Start the listener.
8. Ensure that the tnsnames.ora is located in
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
Ex: $ cat tnsnames.ora >> $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora

Note: The default tablespace is USERS, and temporary tablespace is temp. The password for
sys, and system is oracle.

Software Test Instructions

1. Open SQL*Plus from command prompt by typing sqlplus.

2. Connect to database as ora1/ora1
3. Issue the following: SELECT * from EMPLOYEES;
The query should return 20 rows successfully.
4. Make sure the URL is working to test the Oracle_Home and iSQL*Plus configured correctly.

iSQL*Plus URL : http://<HOSTNAME>:5560/isqlplus

( Note : To start the isqlplus service, type isqlplusctl start, To stop it, type
isqlplusctl stop )
Connect as ora1/ora1 with a connect string as your Oracle sid, such as T1.

5. Issue the following: SELECT * FROM employees;

The query should return 20 rows successfully.
6. Test teach_a, ora1-20 Database users to determine that they contain reduced HR schema:

Glossary of Terminology
Application Server Middle Tier in a 3-Tier or N-Tier architecture. Could consist of the Oracle HTTP
Server, iSQL*Plus, Forms Service, Reports Service and Discoverer Server.
Client Workstation The computer where client software is installed. Client software might include
SQL*Plus, Oracle Forms and Reports Developer, Oracle Designer, JDeveloper, Procedure Builder and an
HTML browser. In a 3-Tier or N-Tier architecture this would be the Client Tier. In the training
environment, this is sometimes known as the student machine.
Database - Collection of data that is treated as a unit. The purpose of a database is to store and retrieve
related information. The database consists of operating system files: data files, control files and redo log
files.
Database Instance - Every time a database is started, a system global area (SGA) is allocated and Oracle
background processes are started. The system global area is an area of memory used for database
information shared by the database users. The combination of the background processes and memory
buffers is called an Oracle instance.
Database Server - Computer where database is created. In a 3-Tier or N-Tier architecture this would be
the Database Tier.
DMP files files created buy the Oracle Export utility. These DMP files are then used by the Oracle
Import utility to import a database, a specific database users objects or a specific set of tables.
Intelligent Agent (IA) - A process running on the server that accepts and runs job requests from the
Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) - a Graphical User Interface tool used to manage oracle databases.
OEM Repository - database that stores information about resources managed through OEM.
Oracle Management Server - provides a scaleable middle tier for processing system management tasks.
It is the optional middle tier of Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) n-tier architecture.
ORACLE_HOME - operating system variable that points to the directory where oracle has been installed
ORACLE_SID operating system variable that determines the instance an Oracle application connects
to by default.
