Oracle puts out a nice book, it's call "Oracle starter kit for linux" you can pick it up at BN. It covers simple things like creating users and get the right permissions for the install directories. It also gets more involved about ½ through the book for the more advanced user. It's a good "Get me up and running book" Rodney Ray Children's Hospital and Clinics Data Warehouse Developer 651-855-2560 rodney.ray at childrenshc.org >>> Marc.Olivier at Co.Ramsey.MN.US 11/21/00 3:31:28 PM >>> Hello. I have a Linux machine at home, and I have SUSE up and running. However, I cannot figure out how to load Oracle 8i, PHP or how to access mySQL on my machine. I found and downloaded some directions for loading Oracle 8i, but they made no sense to me. Are there other directions or maybe even an Installfest that can be organized around these issues? I would like to be able to create and deploy an online database in a Linux environment, and I'd like to use Oracle because the name has clout in business circles. I have been able to meet some success under Windows using ASP to interact with MS Access 97 database through a web page, and I hear PHP is just as good (or better) in a Linux environment. The more I can use well, the better. Thank you for your attention to this matter. _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at lists.real-time.com https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
