Issues Common to Data Cartridges

Data cartridges require a C compiler to build their sample applications after installation.

See Also: For more information about Oracle data cartridges, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Guide and the documentation for the individual cartridge.

Oracle8 Time Series Cartridge

More information: For additional information, refer to the Oracle Time Series Cartridge User's Guide.

Installing Time Series Cartridge Demos

Time Series Cartridge demo files are stored in $ORACLE_HOME/ord/ts/demo. This directory contains several demos, each in its own subdirectory:

• The usage demo shows how to build a time series object and call time series functions. This usage demo should be run first, to create sample time series schemas used by the other demos.
• The extend demo shows how to write and add customized time series functions.
• The proc demo demonstrate accessing data stored with the cartridge using Pro*C.
• The oci demo demonstrates access data via the Oracle Call Interface.
• The dev2k demo includes a Developer 2000 form which retrieves data using the cartridge.

Refer to the README files in the demo directories for more information about each demo.

Oracle8 Visual Information Retrieval Cartridge

More information: For additional information, refer to the Oracle Visual Information Retrieval Cartridge User's Guide.

Creating the Demo

1. Create the VIR demo directory

   % svrmgrl
   SVRMGRL> connect internal;
   SVRMGRL> create or replace directory virdemodir
            as "$ORACLE_HOME/ord/vir/demo";
   

2. Grant privileges on the directory to PUBLIC

   SVRMGRL> grant read directory virdemodir to public
            with grant option;
   SVRMGRL> exit;
   

3. Make the virdemo program

   % cd $ORACLE_HOME/ord/vir/demo
   % make -f demo_ordvir.mk virdemo
   

Oracle8 Image Cartridge

More information: For additional information, refer to the Oracle Image Cartridge User's Guide.

Creating the Demo

1. Create the Image Cartridge demo directory

   % svrmgrl
   SVRMGRL> connect internal;
   SVRMGRL> create or replace directory imgdemodir
            as "$ORACLE_HOME/ord/img/demo";
   

2. Grant privileges on the directory to PUBLIC

   SVRMGRL> grant read directory imgdemodir to public
            with grant option;
   SVRMGRL> exit;
   

3. Make the virdemo program

   % cd $ORACLE_HOME/ord/img/demo
   % make -f demo_ordimg.mk imgdemo
