OS Choice...
Nov 29 2007, 3:51 AM EST
I'm not wishing to start an OS Jihad, but if an understanding of the DOS command-line is prerequisite knowledge, wouldn't it be better for the kids to use Linux for the magic carpet to take them to Oracle World? It'll make their future experience so much more enjoyable. I can understand choosing Windows if you were putting together a command-line free guide, but if you're delving into the DOS command-line, you may as well go the whole hog and switch to Linux. 1 out of 7 found this valuable.

BatCat, the reason for selecting Windows OS is all about "probability" and "the mission of the wiki" i.e. kids. Please pardon me for not selecting OS of your choice. Maybe in future, not sure.

This is one of the funniest, albeit annoying things I've ever seen.

"BatCat, the reason for selecting Windows OS is all about "probability" and "the mission of the wiki" i.e. kids. Please pardon me for not selecting OS of your choice. Maybe in future, not sure. "So you choose to not only confound children with your inane analogies ("Genie", "Genie's Notebook") but also elect to further confuse them with Oracle on Windows. Such decisions appear, on the face of them, to be irresponsible and ill-conceived. Why not go 'whole hog' here and make Redo the 'magic carpet' and Undo a 'magic wand'? And where, pray tell, is Aladin's lamp in all of this merriment and mayhem? You haven't simplified anything, you've "dumbed down" all of the key Oracle concepts and have done a great disservice to your intended audience in the process. I've been saying this for years, as you were trying to pass this same text off as a beginner's training guide to Oracle database administration and spamming newsgroups such as comp.databases.oracle.server trying to promote and sell (yes, sell, for $19.99) this same compilation of gibberish and others like it. You claim much with your 'biography', yet prove little with such submissions. I truly cannot believe that an Oracle Certified Professional would author such lunacy and expect it to be taken seriously, as it appears you are lost in the fundamentals of how an Oracle database operates and how best to administer it. Your material has been declared as spam the last time you posted it here. Reposting doesn't improve its status. And, I suspect it will last as long now as it did no more than a week ago. After this is removed please regain your senses and don't post it a third time. 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Check this out:http://www.takveen.com/download/ebooks/oracle10g_md_smpl/oracle10g_md_smpl.html You can learn half of Oracle just by looking at the cover. Enjoy! 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Check this out:I have 'checked this out' and I'm appalled that a self-professed OCP would author such tripe. And if the cover indicates the 'half' of Oracle you know I can understand why your offering is so dismal. Oracle isn't Access, although you're obviously convinced they're more alike than different (anyone who would even BEGIN to consider Access as an RDBMS needs an education in Relational Database Concepts and Theory). Fairy tales have more fact than you present in your text. Stop littering this wiki with your trash. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
