Custom domain and oracle dba from Nexus 7

About a month I decided to change the title of this blog from "Imran's Oracle blog" to "the amazing oracle". It wasn't just a name change but rather the idea change behind this blog. As I have another space of mine where I can share non oracle stuff so I decided this to make something purely oracle related. The new name voiced out from no where when I got rman duplication work like a charm on very first attempt.

Most pleasant thing about it was there was no such domain as yet. So I jumped on it and here it is finally this blog is going in a new direction with its own new name. The platform will still be blogger and I have no plans of changing it in near future. 

Also, I bought Nexus 7 about a month ago. I also recently moved from Windows to Linux and when I got WiFi working on it, I thought to access Linux shell from Nexus 7. After all it requires is a ssh client like Putty. 

I searched and found many ssh client for Nexus 7 and installed ConnectBot. Everything worked so smoothly and within 15 mins I was accessing linux shell from Nexus 7 while laying in my bed. 

When you can access linux shell, you can do just about anything with linux. So I jumped straight to SQL*PLUS and started to play with oracle.  Even took a backup of database using rman. :)
