The $ORA_HOME$ and the $ORA_BASE$ files are not where they are supposed to be according to the description provided in my book. As a matter of fact, the installation path is not like it is described in the book either.

I have downloaded an educational copy of Solaris 9. I guess I might as well learn how to administer oracle on unix, seeing as how all the job postings I see never mention a windows infrastructure & always mention unix (particularly AIX)

Look at me! I have zero unix or oracle experience, but here I am trying to get a job for it. I guess that's what almost a year of unemployment &   running out of insurance will drive you to do.

Wonderful! Now my DVD-RW will not recognize blank media. Not that I completely understand what to do with these 4 .iso files I just downloaded from Sun. What a noob I am! Received on Thu Jan 20 2005 - 19:14:11 CST
