Purpose

This document describes the standard installation, update, and uninstallation of SAP DB software. You can download this software from the Software section of the SAP DB Homepage at http://www.sapdb.org. Choose your operating system, and read the relevant notes and explanations. The Downloads section of the SAP DB Homepage contains a quick download area for experienced SAP DB users.
At regular intervals, a CD-ROM with the material number 50061824 is produced that contains the SAP DB software. You can order this CD-ROM free of charge on the SAP DB Homepage.

The programs SDBINST and SDBUNINST are part of the SAP DB software version 7.4. You use the SDBINST program for installing and updating the SAP DB software and the SDBUNINST program for uninstalling the SAP DB software.

You can select the software components that you want to install by using installation profiles.

Supported operating system platforms.

Constraints

This guide does not apply for installing and updating the SAP DB database software in SAP systems.
The installation or upgrade of the SAP DB software required for SAP systems is described in SAP-specific installation guides. SAP customers can find these guidelines in the SAP Service Marketplace, under http://service.sap.com.

Implementation Considerations

Installation profiles are various combinations of individual SAP DB software components , as they are required for different purposes. You achieve a functioning software installation irrespective of which profile you select.

If you only want to install individual SAP DB software components (just a part of an installation profile), you must consider the dependencies between SAP DB components to ensure that the software installation can function. For more information, see the Installation Guide: SAP DB 7.4.

For general information on the SAP DB database system, see The SAP DB Database System under Documentation on the SAP DB Homepage http://www.sapdb.org.
