Re: Dual boot with Oracle

[Aaron <aaron greyhour com>]

speaking of oracle

anyone know of any good tutorials on it?

or QuickStart type books

I have some rather large oracle books

but I kind of need to get a few things done in a hurry (like creating a DB for some of us to use) and while I intend on making some headway in the big book of oracle, i kind of want to get these other guys started with their work
