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”

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.

Terraform is becoming more and more relevant in DBA’s activities.

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.

On April 25th 2019, Oracle database 19c became available to downloaded from Oracle.com.

Downloading an ISO Oracle using an Apple system

So, recently I tried to download the ISO Oracle V41362-01.iso which is the “Oracle Linux (6.5.0.0.0) for x86 64 bit”.
