DBA's Guide to Databases Under Linux

Oracle is the world's leading database company. In early 1999, it announced the availability of Oracle8i for Linux, creating a powerful combination that challenges Windows NT as the platform of choice for deploying complex database applications. Linux, a Unix-like operating system that first appeared in 1991, has transitioned from an experimental, hobbyist operating system to a full-featured, commercial-quality application that now has over 10 million users.The book covers both Oracle8i and Oracle8i Lite and includes up-to-the-minute information on Oracle Applications, Oracle Applications Server, and Red Hat Linux. Other topics include installing Oracle software on Linux, client configuration, troubleshooting, and more.
