Oracle Database

For a Windows database server, the following configuration is recommended as a minimal installation:

• Windows 2000 SP3 or later, Windows XP SP2, or Windows Server 2003

• Pentium 266 or later

• 1 GB RAM (increase this based on the number of users, connections to the database, and volume)

• Virtual memory should be double the amount of RAM

• 3 GB disk space plus an additional 2 KB for each system record to be stored in the database (note that this is a conservative estimate per system record, assuming that most records do not contain complete data). This depends on the Oracle environment you install. Enterprise Edition can take up to 5 GB.

• 256-color video

For a UNIX database server, the following configuration is recommended as a minimal installation:

• 256 MB RAM (increase this based on the number of users and connections to the database)

• Swap space should be a minimum of twice the amount of RAM

• 2 GB disk space plus an additional 2 KB for each system record to be stored in the database (note that this is a conservative estimate per system record, assuming that most records do not contain complete data).

  Note –

  Disk space recommendations do not take into account the volume and processing requirements or the number of users. These are minimal requirements to install a generic database. At a minimum, the empty database and the database software will require 2.5 GB of disk space.
