    Downloading a Distribution File

Download a ChkDB distribution file for your system 
(Windows or Unix/Linux) from www.chkdb.org.  Go to the
Download page, click on the appropriate link, and let 
your browser save the file on your system.

Move the distribution file to an empty directory.

In Windows, unzip the distribution file with a zip 
application or, in a command window: 
  unzip chkdb01.zip    (or whatever the filename is)

In Unix/Linux, in a terminal window:
  tar -xzf chkdb01.gz  (or whatever the filename is)

    Installing in a Database to be Checked

Before ChkDB checking can be done in an Oracle database,
five ChkDB tables must be created and a PL/SQL package
must be stored.

Either execute  setup_chkdb.sql  using SQL*Plus
    OR execute the individual scripts yourself:
        - chkdb_tables.sql  to create 5 ChkDB tables
        - chkdb_software.sql to store a PL/SQL package

    Uninstalling ChkDB

The ChkDB tables and PL/SQL can be removed from a database
by executing:
 
  remove_chkdb.sql
