so, I had Oracle 9i R1 on a Mandrake 8.2 partition on a disk I forgot about almost 2 years ago. I mounted it with coLinux snapshot 20040509. I had to mknod a few /dev/cobd nodes, edit /etc/inittab to run at level 3 and not 5, and that was basically all. next thing I booted the Mandrake image with the following block device entry : <block_device index="0" path="\Device\Harddisk2\Partition2" enabled="true"></block_device> I started the database, had one or two connections to it, ran a few selects like SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES and sat down. the coLinux image was allocated 128 Mb of RAM, and 100 Mb of swap were in use, of 512 available. those are fairly typical numbers of the times when I was testing Oracle on the native Mandrake installation, so no big surprise there, either. I tried later with 256 Mb of RAM allocated, and Oracle started really fast, as in, not slower that on a real Linux system. you can see a screeshot here : http://gniarf.nerim.net/colinux/colinux26.gif not very impressive or informative, unfortunately. ok, so thats just another testimony to the overall quality and stability of coLinux. coLinux allows Linux distributions to run various applications from apt-get and ssh to X, KDE and Gnome, including Mozilla and OpenOffice, heavy-duty compilation efforts including emerge and building coLinux itself, and now they can run Oracle itself, a 1,000-pound gorilla of software. this is truly impressive.

Did you have any luck running Oracle Enterprise Manager (DBA Studio)? I tried running it some time ago (on an older coLinux version), but it was crashing. -- Marko ICQ: 5990814 Him: "Your skin is so soft. Are you a model?" Her: "No," [blush] "I'm a cosmetologist."
