Following are instructions on how to install ACME sample database on Oracle 9i (Unix/Linux) using the SQL*Plus utility (explained in Appendix E).
Start your Oracle instance. Make sure that your session's ORACLE_HOME environment variable points to the correct instance:
# echo $ORACLE_SID ACME #

The Unix/Linux Environment Variables required to run sqlplus utility are listed in Table D-3 and Table D-5 of Appendix D. |
Insert the book's CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Mount the CD-ROM and copy the /sqlbib/oracle_acme directory from the CD to your home directory.
Start SQL*Plus from your home directory by typing:
# sqlplus /nolog
If you want to create the log file, use the spool command (described in Appendix E). For example, if you want the resulting log file load.log to be created in the same directory as your other files, type:
SQL> spool sqlbib/oracle_acme/load.log
Run the script sqlbib/oracle_acme/load.sql:
SQL> @sqlbib/oracle_acme/load.sql
This script creates your Oracle ACME database. Stop spooling (if started) by issuing
SQL> spool off
Type quit to exit SQL*Plus.
