Note: For any text on this page containing the notations <version> or <arch> , you must substitute the appropriate Java DB version (in the forms 10_5_3_0 or 10.5.3.0) or system architecture ( sparc or i386 for the SPARC and x86 architectures, respectively). For example, the file name javadb- <version>-solaris- <arch>.sh could be javadb-10_5_3_0-solaris-sparc.sh.

System Packages

rootself-extracting binaries

Solaris

1. Download javadb- <version>-solaris- <arch>-pkg.sh .
2. Make sure that execute permissions are set on the file:
   Copy

   chmod +x javadb-
   
              <version>-solaris-
              <arch>-pkg.sh
           

3. Extract the Java DB SVR4 packages:
   Copy

   ./javadb-
   
              <version>-solaris-
              <arch>-pkg.sh
           

   This will create a directory javadb- <version> containing several SVR4 package directories SUNWjavadb-common, SUNWjavadb-client, SUNWjavadb-core, SUNWjavadb-demo, SUNWjavadb-docs, SUNWjavadb-javadoc, SUNWjavadb-service.
4. Become root by running su and entering the super-user password.
5. Uninstall an earlier Java DB installation:

   If your system has an existing Java DB installation (the default install location is /opt/SUNWjavadb), you must remove it before installing the new version. You can list the installed Java DB packages by running

   Copy

   pkginfo | grep SUNWjavadb-
   
   

   Remove the installed packages by running
   Copy

   pkgrm SUNWjavadb-client SUNWjavadb-core SUNWjavadb-demo SUNWjavadb-docs SUNWjavadb-javadoc SUNWjavadb-service SUNWjavadb-common
   
   

6. Install the new Java DB packages:
   Copy

   cd javadb-
   
              <version>
           

   Copy

   pkgadd -d . SUNWjavadb-common SUNWjavadb-client SUNWjavadb-core SUNWjavadb-demo SUNWjavadb-docs SUNWjavadb-javadoc
   
   

   Copy

   On OpenSolaris, you would also install SUNWjavadb-service.

Linux

1. Download javadb- <version>-linux-rpm.bin .
2. Make sure that execute permissions are set on the file:
   Copy

   chmod +x javadb-
   
              <version>-linux-rpm.bin
           

3. Extract the Java DB RPM packages:
   Copy

   ./javadb-
   
              <version>-linux-rpm.bin
           

   This will create a directory javadb- <version> containing several RPM packages sun-javadb-*.i386.rpm.
4. Become root by running su and entering the super-user password.
5. Uninstall an earlier Java DB installation:

   If your system has an existing Java DB installation (the default install location is /opt/sun/javadb), you must remove it before installing the new version. You can list installed Java DB packages by running

   Copy

   rpm -qa | grep sun-javadb-
   
   

   Remove the installed packages by running
   Copy

   rpm -ev sun-javadb-common sun-javadb-client sun-javadb-core sun-javadb-demo sun-javadb-docs sun-javadb-javadoc
   
   

6. Install the new Java DB packages:
   Copy

   cd javadb-
   
              <version>
           

   Copy

   rpm -ivh sun-javadb-*.rpm
   
   

rpmrpm -ev

Self-Extracting Binaries

              <version>-solaris-
              <arch>.sh
           

3. Extract the Java DB tree:
   Copy

2. Make sure that execute permissions are set on the file:
   Copy

   chmod +x javadb-
   
              <version>-linux.bin

javadb

Windows Installer

1. Download javadb_ <version>.msi .
2. Install Java DB by either
   1. double-clicking javadb_ <version>.msi , or
   2. running
      Copy

      msiexec /i javadb_
      
                     <version>.msi
                  

   The default install directory on Windows is C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaDB (or its equivalent). Note that this will upgrade any previously installed earlier version of Java DB.
