This chapter describes the requirements for installing Oracle HTML DB, release 2.0.
This chapter contains these topics:
Oracle HTML DB version 2.0 requires an Oracle database that is release 9.2.0.3 or higher.
Oracle HTML DB requires the shared_pool_size
of the target database to be at least 100 MB.
To check the shared_pool_size
of the target database:
Start the database:
SQL> STARTUP
If necessary, enter the following command to determine whether the system uses an initialization parameter file (initsid.ora
) or a server parameter file (spfiledbname.ora
):
SQL> SHOW PARAMETER PFILE;
This command displays the name and location of the server parameter file or the initialization parameter file.
Determine the current values of the shared_pool_size
parameter:
SQL> SHOW PARAMETER SHARED_POOL_SIZE
If the system is using a server parameter file, set the value of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE
initialization parameter to at least 100 MB:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE='100M' SCOPE=spfile;
If the system uses an initialization parameter file, change the values of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE
parameter to at least 100 MB in the initialization parameter file (initsid.ora
).
Shut down the database:
SQL> SHUTDOWN
Restart the database:
SQL> STARTUP
Oracle HTML DB must have access to Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql
in order to run. The following products include the versions of HTTP Server and mod_plsql
that meet this requirement:
Oracle 9i Database release 2 (9.2) or higher
Oracle 9i Application Server release 1 (1.0.2.2) or higher
Verify that the file system that contains the Oracle home directory contains at least 460 MB of free disk space for the installation. The system drive disk space requirement is 100 MB.
The disk space requirements are as follows:
Software files in the Oracle home: 459 MB
c:\Program Files\Oracle
directory: 0.5 MB
TEMP
directory: 110 MB
Oracle XML DB must be installed in the Oracle database that you want to use. If you are using a preconfigured database created either during an installation or by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA), Oracle XML DB is already installed and configured.

Oracle Text must be installed so that you can use the searchable online help in Oracle HTML DB. By default, Oracle Text is installed as part of Oracle Database.
In addition, make sure that the default language preferences for Oracle Text have been installed. To install the Oracle Text default language, log into the Oracle database where you plan to install Oracle HTML DB and run the appropriate drdef
lang
.sql
script, which by default is located in ORACLE_BASE
\
ORACLE_HOME
\ctx\admin\defaults
. For example, to run the language preferences script for US English, drdefus.sql
:
c:\> sqlplus sys/SYS_password as sysdba
SQL> @c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\ctx\admin\defaults\drdefus.sql
