Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Plain Old Database
I'm with you. Oracle behaves too much like Microsoft trying to get you
install stuff whether you need it or not. I've come across a lot databases
where the installer person installed stuff probably thinking, "I'm not sure
if we'll need it or not so I'll just install it anyway." I don't use the
dbca stuff but I did the same as you at a shop that used InterMedia. I then
modified the generated scripts and only installed what was really needed.
I wonder how many databases are vulnerable to hacking because Apache was installed from the Oracle CD's? Is there anything different about the Apache shipped by Oracle vs. what's publically available? Why does Oracle put Apache stuff on the CD's?
Curious too,
Steve Orr

I am preparing to migrate from 8.1.7 to 9.0.2. I was just wondering if I
am the only DBA that doesn't like all of this other "stuff" in my database -
Ultrasearch, Intermedia, Oracle Text, and XML. I used dbca to generate my
database creation scripts, so I could understand what the tool is doing to
create the database. I've gone through and commented out these things that
we won't be using. Am I in left field on this, or are others installing
these options/products "in case" they need them later on (assuming you don't
have an immediate need for them)? Same question for the http listener - are
most dbas installing it and using it?
Just curious.
Thanks,
Jay
