Databases

[James Diehl]

I downloaded the Oracle10g-XE-10.2.0.1for i386 and the JDBC 10g, with the Sun JRE and SDK files.  I also downloaded new drivers for both, because Open Office said the drivers were defective and it couldn't access the databases.  Baloney!  All of those drivers couldn't be defective!  I contacted Oracle support and Open Office support, but as yet no help!  Open Office couldn't understand why there is a problem, so I asked if there was a way to upgrade the Star Office 7 plug-in to 8.  Oracle says I need to call their 800 number to talk to live support, which I will.  I thought maybe one of our Ubuntu user family might know a trick that they don't!  Thanks!
 Diehl, James

Oracle work fine with ubuntu (and debian probably), but installation isn't easy
(special version older than 10g)

There is free oracle express database (in beta yet, but production will be in Jan, 2006)

I have Macros, and several different Java programs, including the Sun Java programs that Oracle requires. Should all of this really be necessary?

Everything I see on the Oracle site, and others say; "Debian won't accept this, Debian won't work with this, Debian this, Debian that, etc.........................!" What's the hangup?
