thanks.

crash course, must have, aggressive deadline situation.  nothing unusual for
me, similar pains rolling out and learning NT, Exchange, MS-SQL, RPG, VB,
etc... (see a pattern?)

i've toyed w/ the downloaded oracle 8.1.7 personal just to get some
inceptionary idea of what it takes and how it works, i'll do something a
little more formal when i've got a better grasp and more memory...  of
course i've ran into problems but i'm positive i can resolve them and i'll
use the information you've supplied to learn and fill in the gaps.

maybe my next post will be relatively intelligent.



thanks again for all the info:

hello,
we're in the process of upgrading an application, right now it's a 16-bit
client application with the backend running on MS-SQL 6.0, windows NT 4
server.  the company we're working with is willing to upgrade to 32-bit code
oracle 8x, still running on NT; probably 2000.

i'm looking for some starter information since i'll probably be the DBA.

i've downloaded oracle 8i personal and a couple of PDFs, i'm wondering if
you can point me to some starter information?  is there a "first read" or
something similar?
