Ughh..Beaned me more hard. Founder+Comnet - 2 LaZzzyDBA - 0
Founder/Gaurav - I would encourage people to use certified combos for PRODUCTION/DEVELOPMENT/TEST use in their professional work environment. If the installation was so horrible, do you expect everything to work OK in the future. What Gaurav did was a "hack" and everyone does it to meet his/her requirements BUT NOT in a professional work environment. NO SUPPORT will be given by Oracle if you choose to install Oracle under uncertified variants of RedHat/Suse/blah blah. The "hack" described by Gaurav is informative but MAY break other programs/modules of Oracle. Oracle, Sybase, BEA or ANY product development company are very particular about this. Don't play too hard w/ Oracle! You are setting dangerous expectations for everyone -- professional testers, developers, DBAs. As far as using Personal Edition for Oracle on any variant is concerned please go ahead and use it at home. Even the Guru ASKTOM.COM uses RH8 for his personal use. Refer the following URL - http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:6090133761547 PostgreSQL is better than MySQL in terms of scalability and performance. However, for complex requirements Oracle is definitely the choice. SQL Server is a JOKE! Are you still ready to "bean" me hard w/ your balls ..eh? ***End of Discussion from my end on this topic*** BR, N ------------------------------- On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 Sandip Bhattacharya wrote : >On Wed, 2005-03-30 at 10:26 +0000, Nishant Kavi wrote: > > > Watch out for more bumps ahead w/ Fu&*#& Fedora 3 + Oracle.
