David - Well, some people on this list write books, some of us read 'em. Actually the Reingruber & Gregory book is awesome if you are in the position of evaluating data models, which happens from time to time with us DBAs. They analyze darn near all common modeling alternatives and provide great reasons for not choosing some alternatives. Made me look a lot less dumb in a pinch. And if the modeler wants to argue you can just state that you are just providing information so it isn't you against them, but them against some noted authors.

I agree that the Ralph Kimball books are great for star schema design. I will check out the other book for normalized models. Thanks for the tip. Best regards, David B.

The best resource for normalized data modeling that I have found is: The Data Modeling Handbook by Michael C. Reingruber and William W. Gregory For Star schema I think Ralph Kimball is the place to start. Dennis Williams DBA, 80%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 2:11 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Interested in data architecture issues beyond a particular RDBMS (sorry guys just have to be) and I was wondering if anyone had any good resources: -listservers -conferences (what are the best for a ltd. budget) -good books/articles/magazines I just received a request about "The Next Big Thing Panel was part of the Wilshire Meta-Data Conference and DAMA International Symposium - the world's largest and most authoritative vendor-neutral data management conference. If you missed this event and would like to order the documentation, please visit the conference home page." Anyone know if this is worth going to? It looks very interesting.

Is this some type of security solution? My guess is that the oracle binary will get Oracle started, but maybe it would be simplest if you just tried it. I will warn you of one thing. If the oracle binary isn't setuid to root, you get a situation where only the Oracle user can execute it. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:08 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello All, I am curious to know what are the executables that are used when we say startup/shutdown of oracle database on Sun box. I think it is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle are there any other executables/kernel files (important) in bin or in anyother areas. Can somebody throw somelight ??/ Thanks in advance, Srinivas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
