We Heart Code

During the last week or so I’ve been going through the process of setting up an Oracle 10g database on CentOS 4.5. Rather than relying on the toads at OTN or the raving throngs of confusion at the oracle.com forums for advice. I learned everything I needed to know at Dizwell Informatics. It’s the site and blog of an Oracle DBA from down under who has detailed tutorials complete with annotated flash videos for everything you need to know to get an Oracle Database up and running. Here’s the ones I used

• Installing CentOS in VMWare.: For the practice run.
• Installing Oracle 10g on CentOS: Great Article on all the pitfalls of the crazy oracle install.
• Creating a Database with dbca
• …and on and on.

Anyway, it’s a great site with tons of articles and helpful forums and you get to save the shame from having to ask questions on metalink.
