New to Oracle

skarrlette · Apr 22, 2014

Hi I am new to this site and new to Oracle. In fact I have no real experience with databases at all. I have Windows 7 and decided to download Oracle Database 11g to learn. Some how I ran it and then a beige window box comes up called "Oracle Database 11g release 2 Installer-Installing database - step 1 of 9." Then it says Configure security updates enter email and password which I do then I hit next, and on the next screen it asks me for .....

Specific proxy server information

proxer server

a proxy port

proxy username

and proxy password.

Not sure what any of it means or did I do something wrong. can someone tell me what my next step is to install the database?

Thanks in advance !

You start over and choose the 'I don't want to be notified' selection and move on. For this purpose you don't need to configure automatic updates since you do not have an Oracle CSI number or support contract.

Hi.

Starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3), you can enter the Proxy Realm information. The proxy realm information is case-sensitive. If you do not have a proxy realm, then you do not need to provide an entry for the Proxy Username, Proxy Password, and Proxy Realm fields.
Click Test Connection to ensure that your proxy settings are correctly entered, and the installer can download the updates.

Note: Ensure that the combination of database name (first eight unique characters of database unique name), delimiter, and the database domain name does not exceed 128 characters.
For example:

database_unique_name is sales

db_domain is us.example.com

When you enter the Global Database Name, Oracle Universal Installer automatically populates the SID prefix with the database name. You can change this name in Advanced installation.
Oracle Universal Installer limits the SID to 12 alphanumeric characters and the SID cannot contain underscore (_), dollar ( $), and pound (#).
Specify Configuration Options
