Oracle Tips by Burleson

Before starting the installation of Oracle HTML DB, it will be necessary to download version 2.0 from the HTML DB web site.  The version shipped on the Oracle 10g Release 2 Companion CD is 1.6.  Version 1.5 is on the 10g Release 1 CD.  The examples in this book will use version 2.0 of HTML DB, which is the current version at the time of publication.  When a new release of HTML DB is made generally available from Oracle, any code that does not work with the latest versions of HTML DB will be updated and available in the online code depot.

Preparing for Installation of HTML DB

The Oracle downloadsite for HTML DB can be found at the following URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/download.html

When on the download page for the operating system in use, click the download link for Oracle HTML DB v2.0. 

The remainder of this book will refer to a directory named C:\htmldb_bookfor both the directory where the HTML DB download is saved and where the code from the online code depot is stored.  Linux users should change the directory according to their naming structure.

The download will provide a file named htmldb_2.0.zip unless a different name is typed in manually.  Save this file to the C:\htmldb_book directory.  When the files are unzipped, a sub-directory named htmldb will be created.  The unzipped files will be in a directory named C:\htmldb_book\htmldb.
