DMS Services for IU Instructional Use of Oracle

DMS maintains an Oracle Server named oed1 on a Solaris machine for instruction involving Oracle. We provide accounts on our Oracle server for classes (as possible), and we provide the Oracle Client software in the IUB Student Technology Centers, configured to connect to our server. DMS also provides Oracle Client software on the UNIX steel nodes. To non-IUB campuses, DMS can supply those campus's computer support personnel and instructors with the Oracle client software for installation. Below are links to DMS resources for Oracle instruction at IU.

(Check Oracle's site for current pricing -- pricing reflected here might not be accurate. Products acquired through the OAI agreement can only be used for instruction. DMS does not provide support for Oracle products obtained through the OAI.)
