Yes, it is, but don't let the ocassional usenuttiness get you down. Sybrand does happen to have a point, but I think you have every right to muddle through on your own. But you have a steep learning curve ahead.

See http://bofh.ntk.net/Bastard.html for an idea what things were like before the dot.bomb s/operator/DBA/ :-)

Oracle doesn't give a hoot about any of this stuff! People just laugh (and not with you!) at those sort of comments.

Many people would. There are environment variables like TEMPDIR to be set for temp files - and see /var/tmp. Be sure to set up routine cleaning of /var.

Also google for SAME and RAID in the cdo* groups.
