What is the purpose of these Installations ?

You can experience the SQL from Oracle, MySQL and Microsoft SQL in a one go. For example

create a table in Oracle and check how this table created on MySQL and MS SQL Server

With a bare minimum of 4 Gb RAM Laptop or Virtual Machine you can install all the three

very smartly

If you install on a Laptop, you can start the databases when you need and use your memory

efficiently

Learning to do a clean and good installation. The "Set the Service to Manual" explains further

If your aim is gathering good SQL knowledge and/or you think of ETL Development , it is good

to have an experience of SQL from the three popular databases

If you have three Drives you can allocate each drive for a specific software or at least one extra drive is well and good

If you do not, even though we can perform a good installation !

In my case I installed all the 3 databases on a separate single drive

On Windows .Net is very important. If your installation is on a Laptop make sure you have .Net 3.5 installed. Run the Windows Update or recheck for it

In the MS SQL Express Advanced 2008 R2 section you can see the download links for .Net if you install on a Virtual Machine

Oracle - Oracle SQL

Download link :

You need to register with Oracle to download the software on Oracle.

http://www.oracle.com/index.html

Now move the mouse to "Downloads". You see Oracle Database 11g Express Edition

Accept license and Download :

Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 for Windows x64 and

Click on SQL Developer to download "Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.3. For 64 bit including Java" go for -> Windows 64-bit -zip file includes the JDK 7

Unzip and double click the "setup" to start the installation

Click on Run to start the installation

http://www.oracle.com/index.html

Directory Selection :

It is very bad to mix or install other Software in C drive. For example in the C:\Programs\

If you have only one drive, say C, it is a good thing to install under C. For example C:\Oracle but not a good thing to install in C:\programs etc.

Click on Browse to select a different Drive

Create a folder "oraclexe " if you want to install on different Drive. The below pictures show my installation on a separate drive

In my case I installed on E Drive (after clicking on the Browse button)

Give a password when prompted for password during the installation

This is a SYS and SYSTEM Password. This is a Super User Password for the Oracle Database.

Set up Finish. Navigate to see the Database files

Open SQL Window to learn basic shutdown and startup of a Oracle Database using

commands

Installation of SQL Developer

Say for an example when you downloaded SQL Developer it is saved in Downloads folder.

Unzip it and open it

Copy or move this folder to C Drive. You can see that in the below screenshots

Open the SQL Developer Folder and go here

Right click on this and create a short cut to Desktop (send to Desktop)

Open SQL Developer from desktop now and click on "run" and click on "no" when the

message to migrate older version is asked.

Setting SQL Developer Interface to English

If you live in non English country it is possible the interface will be switched to non English

Below is the configuration file to change the SQL Developer interface to English

Do not open this file with "notepad" but better to open with "WordPad"

Add the below lines at the end of the file.

Save and close the file

If you get any Java related Error then one more path has to be saved here. The steps for this

are below

Click on OK

Now navigate the Folder "SQL Developer" on your laptop. On my laptop it was as below

Note this path and save it in this file in same way you did for changing the interface to English

language previously

Save and close the file. Below is another SQL Developer Configuration File. Just for

Information

Connecting Oracle Database using SQL Developer

Right click on Connections

Click on "Test" after giving the details to see the connection status "success" and then check

box "save password". Finally click on Save to save this connection.

To connect click on "connect"

Expand this connection "sys-conn" and finally "other users"

Right click on "HR" to open "edit user" and give password and unlock account. Finally Apply.

Example below shows granting the DBA Role to this user. Click on SQL to see the SQL

Statement. Further see other roles and privileges

Click on Apply to give the DBA Grant

Verify by using SQL Window

The User "HR" is able to connect to database.

Create a new connection for this user in SQL Developer

Shutdown the database now using SQL Command window that we did in previous step.

Set the Service to Manual

We put this Oracle Service to "manual" so that the database is not started automatically.

Open Task Manger and click on "Services" (You can open Task Manager by right click on the

Time, which is at the bottom right on your laptop)

Click on any Service name and press the "o" key ( you save time in searching a Service )

Right click on this now and set it Manual and press Apply button

Now set the other two Services to manual

When you need it work with Oracle you start the "listener" first and then "Service".

Both are important to connect to Oracle database.

MySQL - SQL Installation

Download Link :

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

Using Oracle account you can download.

Using Microsoft Installer is the recommended way to install on Windows.

Note : MySQL Installer is 32 bit, but will install both 32 bit and 64 bit binaries.

In my case it was :

Double click to start installation.

Click on "install MySQL products"

Accept license

Check the box "skip the check for updates " to avoid updating

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

Change the Path of Installation Remember :

It is a very bad installation to install in C:\programfiles or in C:\programs.

If you have another drive just change "C" to other drive name. In my case I put in E. The below screen shows it.

If you have only C then just delete "Program files". In this way C:\MySQL\ and C:\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\

Click on Next and Execute

Click on Next

Go for defaults

Click on execute and watch for the water level rise and later on click next

Give a password for MySQL Root password and see the Service name

Click on Next for Examples

Click on execute and watch for the water level rise and later on click next

Allow to start MySQL Workbench and finally click on Finish to complete the installation

Connecting to MySQL Workbench

Click on Root and check the box "save password in vault"

Click on options Files in the left pane and see the location of the Configuration File

Verify the installed files

Below is the data directory of MySQL

The Configuration File

Create a MySQL Workbench short on the Desktop. Right click on in it and select "send to

Desktop shortcut"

Shutdown theMySQL Server now using MySQLWorkbench


We put this Service to manual so that it does not start up when the laptop is started.



Click on any Service name and press the "m" key ( you save time in searching a Service)

Right click on this now and set it Manual and press Apply button.

When you want to use MySQL you have to just start the Service by clicking on "start"

MS SQL Server - T-SQL Below is the installation for MS SQL Server Express Advanced 2008 R2

Prerequisite is .Net 3.5 SP1. If you are installing on a Laptop the Windows update would install it for you. Just run the Windows Update

If you are installing on a Virtual Machine then download it

Download link for .Net 3.5 SP1

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150

It is of 231 MB size and full package. This is a offline installer of .Net 3.5 SP1. Although I had

installed .Net framework 4 it still threw error

Download link for MS SQL Server Advanced 2008 R2

The SS Express Advanced comes with the Management Studio. This is an important tool


Select " SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU" for 64 bit laptop



Takes some time to open up. Click on run to start the installation

Click on "New Installation.. "

We have to go with the default directories here. It is Microsoft Software !

If you try to change the directory path it throws Error ! and installation does not proceed

further.

Click on "Use the same account..." and let the default account take in this installation.

Create a directory to hold the instance related files. You can follow my example for creating

the names for directories

If you have only C drive even then you create directories to hold the files.

In the MS-SQL-DATA directory there was another directory called "Instances" created. See

the next screenshots for other directories were created

Below are the other directories to hold Temp DB (temporary database) and the databases created by us are called "user databases".

The installation will be finished in few minutes.

Open the SQL Server Management Studio (in short it is called SSMS)

Connecting SQL Server Database

We connect to Database Engine. Below you can see the instance name "SQLEXPRESS" which

was installed on the Server or computer called "WIN-ORASYS1"

Click on Connect

Right click on Databases to create a new database. Just give a name to create a user

database

Click Refresh to see the newly created user database

After the disconnect from instance you can set the Service to Manual so that SQL Server

does not start up automatically for you




Click on any Service name and press the "s" key (you save time in searching a Service). We

set all the SQL Services to Manual

Right click on the service and set it to Manual. Do not forget to press Apply.

All the SQL Services are set to manual

Connecting all the installed databases using SQL Developer

In order to connect the other databases using SQL Developer we need to install 3rd party

drivers

Download Link for MySQL Driver

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

Download Link for MS SQL Server Driver (download this zip file)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/jtds/

MySQL Driver Installation

Run this downloaded driver to get it installed

It will be installed and saved in

Make a note of this location and Jar File, which is highlighted below

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/files/jtds/

MS SQL Server Driver Installation

Unzip the folder and move or copy the folder to Program Files (x86). In my case it was

Make a note of this location and Jar File, which is highlighted

Open SQL Developer

Click on Tools and open Preferences. Expand Database and click on Third Party JDBC Drivers

Click on Add Entry. Now select the location of MySQL Jar and MS SQL Jar(jtds-1.3.1.jar). Both

are highlighted in the above screenshots .

In SQL Developer, right click on Connections and you should see this

Click on, for example MySQL , a MySQL Tab to make a connection to MySQL Database from
