QUESTION POSED ON: 04 February 2002
I would like to know Oracle 9i's minimum requirements for installation such as processor, operating system, memory capacity and hard disk space.

EXPERT RESPONSE

The minimum server configuration depends on several factors such as the installed options, server usage, using Enterprise Edition vs. Standard Edition, etc. You did not mention which platform you wish to install Oracle 9i on. I'll give you the figures for Oracle 9i on Windows as a guide, but please refer to the platform specific documentation (http://technet.oracle.com).

Oracle Corp. is recommending the following server capacities for Oracle 9i running on Windows:


Memory: 128 MB (256 MB recommended)
Disk Space: 2.75 GB for software install. More for the
database itself. 
Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
CPU: Pentium 166 (Pentium 233 recommended)
