Pre-Installation¶

This guide covers the server installation from the perspective of a new installation on a server OS that has never had Oracle Database installed. We highly recommend installing on a new Virtual Machine (VM) or new server hardware.

If you do not plan to provision a new server, make sure you uninstall any previous version of Oracle Database. It's important to make sure Oracle Database has been completely removed and no folders or registry keys are left before proceeding with a Oracle 12c database installation.

System Requirements¶

Windows Server 2022 (x64)
Minimum requirements should meet Oracle Database 19c recommended system requirements. See Oracle Database 19c documentation for more information.

Important

We only support x64 bit Operating Systems. Any operating system supported by Oracle will work but Lode Data can only offer support of Windows Server operating systems.

Software Requirements¶

Oracle Database 19c version 19.3
Lode Database Utilities version 11.1

You can download the Oracle 19c Database directly from Oracle by creating a free account. However,to ensure the correct version is downloaded for compatibility with our product we have hosted the files on our site. Contact Lode Data Support for the download link and password.
