Is it beta?

You can now download the production release of Oracle9i Database Release 2 prior to general availability. All you need to do is click on the button to the right.

I registered for email notification when the Win2K and Linux versions were released. What a surprise, I never received the mail.

I'm downloading the Win2K version now. I'll get the Linux version at home. I'll keep you informed how it's going. XMLDB here I come :)

rcherch: If you're interested I'm using Oracle9i on Redhat 7.2 at home. I've downloaded the 7.3 images but I'm having trouble with the install. Anyway, both 7.1 and 7.2 work fine. I think Oracle only certify Oracle9i against RedHat 7.1 at the moment. If you're using it for a business it's best to stick with a certified version. I'm not sure which SUSE versions are certified.

Cheers

Tim, did you have a look at:

List of Bugs fixed in Oracle9i Release 2 base release (9.2.0.1) (Metalink Doc ID: 190077.1). Sounds good!

Where from are you downloading 9.2?

Tim I register 2 or 3 weeks back as well and never got an Email. I saw it when I visited http://www.oracle.com and saw some news about Oracle 9i R2 was released, big surprise

What problem do you have with RedHat 7.3? I installed 7.3 last week in a machine with no problems

I had hard time with 7.1 and 7.2 though because of bug with Adaptect SCSI driver

Julian look technet, it´s on first page right frame where it says early access program

Who can run not as sys (as sys it is OK)

Code:

---

create table xml_test(xml_id number, xml_doc sys.xmltype);

---

without errors? In which version? And what should you grant besides DBA to a user in order for him to be able to use the XMLtype datatype?

Thanks David!

PANDO:

I've downloaded and burnt the ISO images from RedHat and I always get a media failure. I've re-downloaded the images thinking mine might be corrupt. I've tried burning them at different speeds and I've run them on different machines. I've also tried both upgrade and installation.

The best I've got so far is an installation with the new kernel and KDE 3.0 complete, but most of the rest utils still at 7.2. Oracle9i Rel1 still works fine on this but I'm worried something will go horrably wrong. I may wait a few weeks until the RedHat FTP isn't quite so busy then try again.

Perhaps my CD burner is up the spout??

Cheers
