Hi all,

I checked this book out of the library about the history of the Oracle Corporation. It is titled "The Difference Between God And Larry Ellison*, Inside Oracle Corporation" by Mike Wilson, William and Morrow & Co, Inc., New York, 1997

It is a very interesting account of how this company came to be and the person who built this multi-billion company from scratch. Which Company was the first to introduce a relational database (it was IBM). How the name Oracle was adopted (from a CIA classified project). How in its race to grab market share Oracle released software that was far from finished (heck, and it still does). Once you read this book you will stop blaming yourself for not making Oracle work as the manuals say. Anyway, I think you will find it quite interesting.
