Installing Sonar With Oracle

Installing sonar (version 2.8) is fairly easy after following the installation guide. Below is one tip which you should consider when using oracle as the database for sonar installation.

The Oracle schema for sonar should be created with the below sql commands

CREATE USER sonar IDENTIFIED BY sonar;

GRANT CREATE SESSION,
      CREATE TABLE,
      CREATE VIEW,
      CREATE SYNONYM,
      CREATE SEQUENCE,
      CREATE PROCEDURE,
      CREATE TRIGGER TO sonar;

ALTER USER Sonar Quota 300M ON Users;

Before I discovered the above queries (thanks to this blog) I tried creating the schema using create user and grant all permissions sql queries. Starting the sonar server always failed with the below error

ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError: ORA-00904: “ENABLED”: invalid identifier: INSERT INTO users (row_identifier, login_id, full_name, email, row_version, user_id, enabled, login, name, crypted_password, salt, created_at, updated_at, remember_token, remember_token_expires_at, id) VALUES(null, null, null, ”, null, null, 0, ‘admin’, ‘Administrator’, ‘fdf038c3d9a8f1a260c7fe3c6657e91dc46ca448′, ’43b15bc57d3bd82b408970c550c03fdd8f29d95e’, TIMESTAMP’2011-06-03 21:42:54′, TIMESTAMP’2011-06-03 21:42:54′, null, null, ?)

The surprising fact was that the insert query syntax didn’t match the physical structure of the USERS table as indicated in the error above and neither did the error gives any clue that the schema creation was an issue.

Magically everything works when I use the above queries :).
