I just tried to install SOA suite 10.1.3.1.0 onto my PC.
So i went onto download the oracle DB. That when I was surprised.
What is the version of oracle you want???
The SOA suite advanced install database version support recommended by oracle is
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.x) -->10.2.0.2 or later
OK. Thatz cool. Just that I can not download one for the version of OS i have.What is this to do with the OS !! :(
I have got Windows XP professional running on my PC.
So naturally I want to download oracle DB version 10.2.0.2 or later for windows.
But I can not find it. Oracle only gives these to download.
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows - This I can't use
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3/10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 2008 - This I don't want as this is for Vista
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) for Microsoft Windows Vista x64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 - This I don't want as this is for Vista
What the questions in my mind
The basic question is if oracle SOA suite 10.1.3.1.0 needs Oracle DB 10.2.02 or higher. Why is there no Windows Xp compatible 10.2.0.3 or higher. Why only vista?
To get SOA suite onto my Xp, looks like i have to go through a lot of pain to just get the dehydration database up and running. Not at all elegant.
What did i end up doing
Well I end up download the database upgrade for 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2.
How to upgrade 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2
You will find all the information on how to upgrade from 10.2.0.1 database to version 10.2.0.2 follow read me of patch 4547817 or metalink note 316900.1
Basically you will end up downloading the path set for oracle database and applying it.
Just be sure to follow post installation instructions.

This is because 10.2.0.2 is patch set which you can apply on top of base install 10.2.0.1 db.
