Ellen,

Thanks a lot for your contributions to this forum. I will be expecting the chinese site, though I make use of one http://www.net130.com

About the Oracle 10g R2 and R1 softwares, I really don't know how we can get guys to have possession of them. What means do you suggest? The only two ways I know is either to send them CDs of these softwares or give them the link on the oracle OTN site so that they can download.
What other means do you think we can adopt? Pls let me know, so that everyone can practice. Another alternative is for guys to purchase this software from all these CD vendors for just 250 Naira or so.

Pls open our eyes again to your magic world.

God Bless You Always!!!

Deola

Thanks Ellen for the great site. And to the prof. I want to say a big thank you. Very soon the file transfer issues will be sorted out.

Hey guys!!

Seluwole, i checked out that site and very very nice i can tell u!!

Prof, dont be tired, ok?!!! Your reward is here on earth!!!

Take care guys.

Later.

SELUWOLE & ELLEN: thank you for the cramsession site. Anyone who wants to write a certification test must consult that site for the 'news in brief' of the course.

Ellen, we await your suggestions on how guys can get the Oracle 10g Database software. God is your strength.

Deola

Hi,

Seluwole, the site u gave out is ok like i said but not very good for beginners.

I suggest that they go thru the learning process that deolly is dishing out and then use the cram materials when they have fully understood it.

Although i downloaded some freebies there and have gone through the materials, i still suggest they get the full book first b4 the cram stuff or read them alongside.

This is just a suggestion.

Prof, i dey hail u. Nice explanation on chapter 3.

Keep the flag flying!!!

Yea ellen you are right. But the site can give a usefull overview of Oracle database. So from there, you can proceed to learn the details.
Let's keep surfing for more of this site.
We'll get there!

Can anyone get a Test Engine for oracle? Let's surf for this and be at alert!!!

hi pple, sorry, i wasnt in town, am glad to be back and laredy trying out the download sites. but what is the .rar extension and what do i use to open it?

Hi guys,

To open a .rar extention, go to http://www.rarlab.com n click download on the english version. Just follow the instructions and get the file downloaded on ur system.

Seluwole, i`ve got some actualtest and textking engines on my system and i cd send it to u (free!!!!) but i just dont know how. It`s the izo-043 and i think it cd be of use to u if u want it.

Take care.

Prof, i dey hail.

Hi guys,

Hope u all had a great week. The forum has not been that active for the past few days. Probably everyone has been busy. I hope that u guys have been able to possess a 10g database software. If there is a problem, let us know pls.

Also, moving to chapter 3 wouldn't be a bad idea.

Wishing us all, the best!!!

Deola

thank u so much ellen for your help, u are the bomb, i really am grateful to u.

I still need the software CDs for the installation. pls how can we get it?
its important so that all this lecture that prof is giving will be effective.
When is chapter three coming up, prof?

take kare

Hey kemi,

No problem, babygal. dats wat we do 4 ourselves, abi.

For the downloads, i really do not like the CDs sold in the market. It cd damage ur system or then again it cd turn out to be ok if u get it from someone u know.

But i think the best thing for u to do, kemi is to go to the oracle site and do the downloads for urself. It is easy. Read the instructions and go thru the installation topic by PROF and u will be home clean and dry. If u encounter any probs, we can talk abt it on the site on, ok.

Now here is the link.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/softwa ... index.html

For the right dbase to download i think it really depends on ur PC. I have 10g R2 on my lap cos of the memory size. I think (am not too sure ooo.Confirm from PROF) there is just a little difference between R1 and R2)

Anyway, on that page, i`ll advice u go for the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition for Windows (if windows is ur OS). U can always uninstall the dbase and install the R1 on a later date.

Or u can go ahead and install the release 1 right away but i strongly think u shd just go for for the one i said earlier on.

I hope to honest that the system u have is urs and have a lot of memory space.

Remember to shut down and restart ur system after the downloads.

So go get it gal!!!

And prof, yeah it has been a buzy one for us but i hope next work will be more interactive by God`s grace.

lets move ahead to chapter 3, pls.

Wonderful weekend, guys.

KEMI & ELLEN

Kemi, chapter 3 has been available since Monday. Check it up!

About getting the oracle database software, Ellen is correct about getting bad CDs from the vendors in the market, especially lagos. But downloading it might be a hell of a thing to do. The file is very large (about 600MB). You will need a good bandwidth to do that; plus I am not sure if the OTN site (from which you will download it) supports download managers now, which would have given you the option to stop at any time and resume downloading later. All in all, you need a very good internet connection. Actually, I currently use a 10g software which I bought from a cd vendor and have used it for several installations. Just weigh your options and see the best for you. If you are downloading, use this link (the same as the one Ellen supplied):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/softwa ... index.html

On that page, click to download this particular one: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (if you are installing on Windows) OR Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86 (if you are installing on Linux). They are both under the second section named: Oracle Database 10g Release 2. We will not be using Oracle
Database 10g Express Edition for the lectures as it does not have Enterprise Manager and other features that are needed as simulations of the Enterprise Edition of the Real Production database. Express Edition was released for students and developers who will want to test their applications against production databases. You can use it later after you have gotten the real gist of oracle.

Ellen, you are correct that there is a little difference btw the two Releases. You can actually download either the R1 or R2, but I think you just download R2 straight away. It only comes with certain modifications over R1 and makes no difference in the exams or training. Once your PC has 512 MB RAM, 1.3GHz Processor speed and 20GB HDD, you are good to go.

Chapter 3 is on. Don't lag behind! Though you can always catch up.

Great weekend to ALL!!!

Mr. Lecturer carry on, ur students are following. We are going to be there very soon: Oracle University Nigeria. Kudos.

Jiggo,

For the purpose of the lessons, pls install the Enterprise edition from the CD of the free oracle software that you buy from the CD vendors. It has the total package offered by Oracle. So you will be having a simulation of the real Enterprise Edition.

For licensed copies, the other ones lack certain features and thus less expensive. The Enterprise Edition is the most expensive among the licensed copies.

Thanks.

Deola
