hi,

I am new to Linux as well as Oracle. i need to deploy oracle packaged thorugh unix instead of using SQLplus where in you can directly type the commands.
Can anyone let me know the process for the same.

I could not really get you, do you have an option in Oracle to install "packages" through commands. Forgive my ignorance, I am nuts about Oracle.

If your answer is yes, we can call SQL commands in UNIX easily through a shell script.

Hi Vikas,

Yes, we do have commands which we use while deploying the packages. It's usually done in SQL plus which acts as a front end screen where we manually execute it.

Great !

You can something as shown in this link. I also took help from this might forum around 2 yrs ago

SQLPlus works on UNIX/Linux Oracle installations so I'm not sure why you're saying you can't do that.

To do initial install you typically use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) which is a GUI (graphical user interface). To do that you need X-Windows. Unless you have access to the console (and are running GNOME/KDE or some other Windows manager there) you aren't running X-Windows.

Also the OUI typically only works on certain distros and versions of Linux without some tweaking.
What Linux distro are you runnning? (Try typing "cat /etc/issue" and/or "cat /etc/redhat-release).
What kernel are you running (Type "uname -a").
Are you running on the system console as opposed to a terminal session? If not how are you attaching to the server?
If you are on the system console are you in a GUI environment that allows you to open multiple windows? If so which one?
What Oracle product are you trying to install?
