Nice, I wish I have some technical people around to install
Oracle for me. Is that Windows or Unix platform?
Do they also install patches too? And install
OPS/RAC? They must be very technical then. Good for you,
but for the rest of us, we have to do it ourselves.
Ever install Oracle at work from home over dialup?
Took so long just to draw the initial screens. Man
I miss character mode installer.
