3) Change the genclntsh script so that LD uses a different link script, searching for /usr/i386-glibc21-
linux/lib first.
4) Relink all oracle executables. Type:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./genclntsh
./relink all
5) Create the Oracle database.
(This idea is based on the Oracle 8.0.5 patch script).
SOME IMPORTANT ORACLE BUGS AFFACTING 8.1.6:
Histograms on partition tables with any empty partitions causes the optimizer
to crash on any query for the affected table.
Bug 962964.
Workaround: Drop statistics and rebuild without using histograms.
Fixed in 8.1.6.2 (or 8.1.7).
Rebuild of partitioned index in parallel mode crashes with ORA-12801 + ORA-27062
More than 30 bugs in PQO, which is probably causing this error.
Workaround: Remove the PARALLEL clause on the index builds.
Fixed in 8.1.6.3?
Export failing with ORA-1000 (too many open cursors)
Occurs on full exports of databases that use locally managed tablespaces.
Bug 1244182.
Workaround: Increase the OPEN_CURSORS parameter.
Fixed in 8.1.6.3 (but may need an additional patch?)
LINUX AND WINDOWS NT DESKTOP AND TOOLS ENVIRONMENT COMPARISON:
As Linux is very stable, requires only a fraction of the hardware resources that Windows NT requires, and
performs exceedingly well, you might want to consider implementing Linux as your workstation desktop
environment. This section is intended to make you aware of the many desktop applications available for Linux.
Linux provides a wealth of tools and multiple GUI environments for use.
