JACoulter's Oracle Notes is a place where I put information I pick-up while performing my job as a junior DBA. It is my on-line notebook and is not intended to be authoratative (that's why every page has the disclaimer on it.)
I decided to put my notebook on line for several reasons: easy accessibility from any web browser, the ability to cut-and-paste text and graphics quickly as well easy and effective formatting, ability to quickly organize and re-organize information, a chance to practice my meager web-design skills, and finally, the off-chance this information may help some other poor DBA stuck with a problem I may have already encountered and solved. Oh - and for when I encounter the same problem six months from now I don't have to figure out the solution from scratch again - that too.
I started this notebook in Feburary 2005 so the amount of information is still very light. My primary job responsibility is installing and configurging Oracle 9i database servers, 9iAS application servers, and OracleAS 10g application servers to operate correctly with an Oracle Forms and Reports application, so that's the type of information you'll find here. If I begin coding Oracle applications then information about that aspect of Oracle will appear on the site.
If you find something that is wrong with the information I've posted, please send me an e-mail at oracle-AT-jacoulter.net and let me know what's wrong with it.
And if I helped you out of a jam, that would be good to know too.
Cheers!
