im trying to install an RPM compat-db-4.1.25-9 on oracle linux enterprise, since its required to install WebCenter...however the rpm installation is throwing a warning and then not working

[root@devsebl downloads]# rpm -i compat-db-4.1.25-9.rpm 
warning: compat-db-4.1.25-9.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 9b3c94f4
[root@devsebl downloads]# rpm -q compat-db-4.1.25-9.rpm 
package compat-db-4.1.25-9.rpm is not installed

any idea what that warning means and why its crashing there?

i tried to use Yum, but its not available i guess:

[root@devsebl downloads]# yum search compat-db
Loaded plugins: security
Warning: No matches found for: compat-db
