3 Installing the Database Server on Windows

This chapter describes how to set up a new Oracle Database Server on a Windows computer.

Installing the Oracle Database Server on a Windows computer requires you to complete the following tasks:

• Install Oracle Database Examples 11g Release 1

• Apply Oracle Database 11g Patch Set 1

• Apply Oracle Database 11g Patch Bundle 8451592

If you are installing the Oracle Database Server on a UNIX computer, see Chapter 2 for installation instructions.

If you are upgrading to TMS, see Chapter 6.

You install the TMS database server code as part of your application tier (middle tier) installation. For installation instructions, see Chapter 4.
