I installed the Oracle 11g2 ‘standard’ edition using the following zip-files:
linux.x64_11gR2_database_1of2.zip
linux.x64_11gR2_database_2of2.zip
I used the installation guide by Oracle which I found quite tedious, e.g. you need to install/configure an X-Server because the default installer is a GUI which you have to ‘babysit’ for some time.
Is there a way to automate a default Oracle installation?
I mean something like a script where I can specify: tell me what yum/apt-packages are missing, here are my oracle-zip-install-files, install it under $MY_BASEDIR and for everything else use some sane defaults!
And no GUI.
I know that there is an express-edition which comes as an rpm – this looks convenient on the first glance, but it seems to exclude some stuff the ‘standard’ edition includes, e.g. Pro*C.
