Unexpected ‘supportedOSCheck’ while installing Oracle database 19c in silent mode on Oracle Linux 8.2 64-bit (x86-64)

As usual, I checked all the pre-requisites for the installation of Oracle Database 19c on Oracle Linux 8.2. However, I didn’t expect to be surprised with the below error at the very beginning: I thought:” Did I miss Oracle Linux 8 isn’t supported with Oracle 19c?”. I was sure that I checked this before so I started googling around again and then I found that this error has happened in previous releases as 12.1 due to the fact that it does not contain Pre-req checks specific to OL /RHEL 8…

Oracle Cloud: Sign up failed “Error processing transaction”

I have already configured many accounts to use Oracle Cloud. Especially, since December 2020 I started to face some problems on the step where you must provide a credit card to simulate a payment but in fact, it works like a personal identification. So I have used the same card that I used previously in some setups, two other new cards and even asked some friends in different countries using their own cards and some of them have experienced the same erros while others could create their account successfully. Follow…

Oracle Database 19c doesn’t support OL6 – /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14′ not

One of the pre-requisite before installing any database software is to check if the platform that you are going to install your database in is supported by that platform. For instance, if you are going to install Oracle database on Linux, it is recommended to check the “Database Installation Guide for Linux” and check the operating system checklist. On April 25th 2019, Oracle database 19c became available to downloaded from Oracle.com. Regardless of the new features, software libraries and so on one difference from the previous release made me think…

Finally an Oracle ACE!

On October 2017, I received an e-mail from the Oracle Corporation saying that my “self-apply” to become an Oracle ACE Associate was successful and I have was accepted and became the first Oracle ACE Associate in Hungary (I lived there at that time). I have even written a post about this: Yesterday, Jun 16, 2020, it was the birthday of a very close friend of mine living in Australia and after a few hours of having a call with him, to wish him all the best during his day, I…

Oracle 12cR1: Moving tablespace by using the transportable tablespace feature from a Solaris Operating System (x86-64) to a Linux x86 64-bit system

This post will be about Cross-platform transportable tablespace. Cross-platform transportable tablespace is a technique where you can copy a tablespace from a database running in one platform to another platform. Also Cross-platform transportable tablespace isn’t the same as Cross-platform transportable database. In this instance the whole database is copied including the SYSTEM tablespace. In this post we are going to copy a tablespace from one database to another database. Then the first thing you have to know is the internal names for each platform that supports cross-platform data transport and…

Digging the STAR_TRANSFORMATION_ENABLED parameter on Oracle database 12cR1 inside a PDB

When you think of a parameter that can help you out with star queries, this parameter is the STAR_TRANSFORMATION_ENABLED. According to the Oracle official documentation, it is described as the difference between a typical query and a star query, “A typical query in the access layer is a bond between the fact table and some number of dimension tables and is often referred to as a star query. In a star query, each dimension table is joined to the fact table using a primary key to foreign key join. Normally…

Taking an Oracle exam in unusual times – Nothing like a day (or months) like the other – Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud 2019 Specialist 1Z0- 931

My interest in the Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud 2019 certification started in September 2019 when I took this exam while attending the OOW19 (Oracle Open World 2019) at San Francisco, California, USA. Back then I failed the exam for many reasons, lack of studying (what matters a lot), pressure and so on but I am not here to make excuses because it would not change the results. So since then, I was involved in more projects where I could not only work with Oracle but also with Amazon Cloud and…
