In this article I will describe how to install an Oracle Database in a\u00a0small single-board computer, making it the smallest Oracle DB server in the world<\/strong>! =]<\/p>\n

How is it possible? What hardware did I use? What is the performance of it?<\/p>\n

As there many questions and steps involved, I’ve split this article in the sections below:<\/p>\n

    \u00a01. Why TinkerBoard and not RaspiberryPi3 ?<\/h3>\n

    First of all, for this appliance I didn’t use a RaspiberryPi, but a TinkerBoard made by ASUS. Why?<\/p>\n

    Well, I have all current RaspiberryPi models (1,2,3) and recently Asus released TinkerBoard<\/a>\u00a0which is a big RbPi competitor. It is little bit more expensive ( US$ 35<\/a> vs US$ 58<\/a> in Amazon) but 30% faster accordingly some benchmarks. It is also a ARM based CPU and both have the exactly same shape, making it possible to use the same cases. I did some research in some other appliances (Banana Pi \/ Orange Pi \/ ODROID) and in my opinion TinkerBoard offers today (June-2018) the best benefit-cost ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
