GOAL

How to install Locator in an existing database ?

SOLUTION

The installation of Locator depends on the successful and proper installation of Oracle Multimedia/interMedia.

Oracle Multimedia/interMedia is installed and configured with Oracle Database, although you can install Oracle
Multimedia/interMedia manually if necessary, as documented in the Oracle Multimedia User's Guide (Oracle
11g), interMedia User's Guide (Oracle 10g) or the $ORACLE_HOME/ord/im/admin/README.txt (Oracle 9i).

During the installation of Oracle Multimedia/interMedia, Locator is installed.

Note, that the manual installation instructions for Oracle Spatial (like for example outlined in Note:270588.1)
are NOT applicable for Oracle Locator, as the installation scripts for the two products are different.

The following selects can be used to verify if Oracle Locator is installed in a database:

• Oracle 9.2
connected as SYSDBA perform the following select to see whether Oracle Locator is installed:
CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SET PAGES 999
SELECT COMP_ID, COMP_NAME, STATUS,VERSION
FROM DBA_REGISTRY WHERE COMP_ID IN ('SDO','ORDIM');
SELECT USERNAME FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME= 'MDSYS';

The output should show something like:

COMP_ID COMP_NAME STATUS VERSION
------- ----------------- ------ ---------
ORDIM Oracle interMedia VALID 9.2.0.7.0
SDO Spatial VALID 9.2.0.7.0
