Using StarTeam with Oracle DatabasesThis chapter explains how to create a new server configuration and Oracle schema user for use with StarTeamServer. StarTeam Server stores everything except for file archives and server startup information in the schemauser.This chapter also provides an overview of the tuning and maintenance SQL scripts that are provided withStarTeam Server and explains how to use them.When you create a server configuration, StarTeam Server can automatically create the tablespace, schemauser, and DSN. However, if you prefer, you can create the tablespace and schema user manually.Note:All of the tablespaces created using StarTeam Server automatically create locally-managed tablespaces.All tablespaces created by StarTeam Server use AUTOALLOCATE.StarTeam 2009 supports the Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 driver for use with the Oracle 10g R2 database, or theOracle 11.01.00.06 driver for use with the Oracle 11g database, on the StarTeam Server. Oracle databasesare supported on both 32- and 64-bit operating systems.Important: You need to install the 10.2.0.4.0 or the 11.01.00.06 driver when you upgrade to StarTeam2009.Terminology for Oracle DatabasesWhen this chapter uses database instance and schema user, it uses Oracle terminology. Each databaseinstance can manage a number of different schema users. Each StarTeam server configuration (such as theStarDraw sample) has its own schema user.Elsewhere in the StarTeam manuals, you will find the terminology common to the other databases that StarTeamsupports. For example, when you install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on a computer, you can run severalinstances of it. Each instance can manage a number of different databases. Therefore, when you see the term“database” in other parts of these manuals, think “schema user”.Logging Onto Schema UsersIt is highly recommended that you use a dedicated StarTeam user account to run or log onto StarTeam schemausers. System administrator accounts usually have unlimited privileges. Any anomalies or errors that occurwhile logged in as the system administrator may result in unrecoverable damage to the StarTeam schemausers and other schema users managed by the same database.Overview of Using an Oracle Schema UserIf you will be using an Oracle schema user, you must complete the following tasks:88 | Using StarTeam with Oracle Databases
