The most recent posts in our series about Installing Sonar were focused on Oracle, and everything you need to know about this database to install a platform dedicated to code analysis with Sonar (and Jenkins, and Tomcat).
At the end of the post about Oracle installation, I told you to note the address of the administration console of Oracle.
Today we will use this console to create an Oracle User that will allow us to have a SONAR schema in our database.
After seeing how to install Oracle and install a Loopback Adapter in order to use Oracle on a laptop or a workstation without a network connection, I will present in this article some tips and tricks very useful when you need to manage the complex database that can be sometimes (or most times) Oracle..
For example, there is nothing more frustrating than having a problem during the installation of Oracle, and not be able to uninstall it. It’s very hard to get rid of it: it is even more difficult to remove it than to install it.

If you’re not always – if ever – connected to a corporate network, you will need a local IP address. It is the role of the Loopback Adapter, which simulates a network loop on your computer.
We will discuss in this post how to install a Loopback Adapter needed to use Oracle on a standalone station, such as a laptop for example. Continue reading
Another milestone: 15 000 unique visitors on the blog Qualilogy, 3 months after the last one: 10 000 in one year.
On 26th of february, more than 15 000 people did more than 21 000 visits and have seen more that 38 000 pages.
