 DSpace on Oracle

-3   Porting notes for the curious
-
-
-    DSpace is now tested to work with Oracle 10x, and should work with
-version 9 as well.  The installation process is quite simple, involving
-changinge a few configuration settings in dspace.cfg, and replacing a few
-Postgres-specific sql files in etc/ with Oracle-specific ones.  Everything
-is fully functional, although Oracle limits you to 4k of text in text fields
-such as item metadata or collection descriptions.
-    For people interested in switching from Postgres to Oracle, I know of
-no tools that would do this automatically.  You will need to recreate the
-community, collection, and eperson structure in the Oracle system, and then
-use the item export and import tools to move your content over.

-How to Install DSpace on Oracle
-
-Things you need
-
-    Oracle 9 or 10
-    Oracle JDBC driver
-    sequence update script from Akadia consulting:
-       currently incseq.sql at: http://akadia.com/services/scripts/incseq.sql
-       (put in your dspace source /etc directory)
-         
-Installation procedure 
-
- 1. Create adatabase for DSpace. Make sure that the character set is one
-of the Unicode character sets.  DSpace uses UTF8 natively, and I would
-suggest that the Oracle database use the same character set.  Create
-a user account for DSpace (we use 'dspace',) and ensure that it has
-permissions to add and remove tables in the database.
-
- 2. Edit the config/dspace.cfg file in your source directory for the
-  following settings:
-
-        db.name   = oracle
-        db.url    = jdbc.oracle.thin:@//host:port/dspace
-        db.driver = oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
-
- 3. Go to etc/oracle in your source directory and copy the contents
-  to their parent directory, overwriting the versions in the parent:
-
-        cd dspace_source/etc/oracle
-        cp * ..
-   
-  You now have Oracle-specific .sql files in your etc directory, and
-  your dspace.cfg is modified to point to your Oracle database and
-  are ready to continue with a normal DSpace install, skipping the
-  Postgres setup steps.
-
- NOTE**** DSpace uses sequences to generate unique object IDs - beware
-  Oracle sequences, which are said to lose their values when doing
-  a database export/import, say restoring from a backup.  Be sure
-  to run the script etc/udpate-sequences.sql.
+(Installation notes moved to main DSpace documentation)
