■
Oracle 11g Release 1 (11.1.0.7.0 or above)
■
Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.5.0 or above)
Configure the environment variables for your particular operating system, as
described in "Oracle In-Memory Database Cache environment variables for UNIX" on
page 3-2 or "Oracle In-Memory Database Cache environment variables for Microsoft
Windows" on page 3-2.
Then, install TimesTen as described in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation
Guide.
Note: From a product perspective, "Oracle In-Memory Database
Cache" is used interchangeably with "TimesTen" because the Oracle
In-Memory Database Cache product option includes the Oracle
TimesTen In-Memory Database.
TimesTen does not support Oracle Name Server for Windows clients.
