Purpose

This documentation provides you with detailed information on the following topics: installing and uninstalling MaxDB software version 7.5, updating the database software, and upgrading database instances to Version 7.5 on the operating system platforms supported by MaxDB.

It is particularly concerned with the following programs:

·        SDBINST for installing/updating installation profiles and individual software components, taking into account dependencies between the components

·        SDBUNINST for uninstalling software components, taking into account dependencies between the components

·        SDBUPD for upgrading database instances and their software

The description of upgrading database instances and their software also applies to database instances in SAP systems.

Note

For a short description of the standard installation/update and standard uninstallation of the entire MaxDB software package outside of SAP systems, see the Database Software Installation Guide.

For general information, see Database System Concepts.

Constraints

This documentation is not relevant for installing or uninstalling MaxDB software in SAP systems. The installation or uninstallation of the MaxDB software required for SAP systems is described in SAP-specific guides. SAP customers can find these guidelines in the SAP Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com.

Implementation Considerations

The SDBINST, SDBUNINST and SDBUPD programs are part of the database software package.

Open source users can download the entire database software free of charge from http://www.mysql.com/downloads.

SAP customers receive the MaxDB software with the SAP installation CD or through the Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com.

The following description is based on using the software that is available online at http://www.mysql.com/downloads and the SAP Service Marketplace.
