Oracle database 11g! For me it is still hype. Not because I have not liked it but because I does not know what is so special about it. I heard about its numerous features but do not know how they can be useful. Oh, then I am talking about Oracle database who already had many, many salient features even before 11g. And I don’t know them all. It has been quite some time that Oracle database 11g has been released and I feel myself somewhat incompetent to know that I have not gone through it yet. But upon further stress I can figure out two problems relating that. First is because of less time I have due to my job and the second is I can’t find a book about it here in
Well I have installed oracle many and I mean it many times. So as for as installation goes I don’t need anything no matter what version it is. And with the introduction of Basic Installation method since 10g life is even easier. But like most installations the first attempt was unsuccessful. Every thing went well except EM which refused to configure; pointing out some listener specific error. Well quite frankly I was unable to figure out what the problem was because I tried every possible thing that I know to configure my database with EM but to no avail. Lastly I thought that as 10g was not uninstalled properly it may be because of that. So I cleaned my Computer from everything containing the word Oracle; even the poor JIniator got hammered out. I made a fresh install and everything went good enough and installation was successful. I took a deep breathe and cajoled myself that now I will start exploring Oracle 11g because I got it installed and running.
