When I first started on Oracle I downloaded the 3 big install files and just went for it. Afterwards, it would have been really nice to of had a book or documentation that pulls back the covers and explains how Oracle is installed on the hard drive. No Oracle isn't straight and clear and that's too bad. Oracle works - but you just have to know how to make it work. Getting that knowledge can be tricky. It's a big and bulky product and it takes a considerable bit of learning effort to get anywhere with it. Anyone know anything on Cache, the newest database product ?
