Useful Websites for Oracle. Well the most obvious one is, in a browser, type in Oracle.com and it can be a little slow sometimes but as you can see there is all sorts of interesting stuff here. Products and Services and everything Oracle does and provides. Solutions, Downloads, you can download the software essentially for free but you have to register. We'll get into that in a later movie. You can also get Support, Training, information about Partners et cetera, et cetera. One of the really important things is the Oracle Documentation and you can find that under the Support Link. Go to the Documentation Link and click there. This will allow you to pick any version of Oracle, what we're going to be working on is Database 11g Release 2, 11g2 or R2. I'm going to click this link and it takes me to what is really a zip file. I can download the zip file and install it. This is 11.1 which is the previous version, this is the current version. To download the documentation, I would click it and download it. The download and installation of documentation we will do in the next chapter but you can actually get the Oracle Documentation online from a site called Tahiti.Oracle.com and otherwise what I actually did was I went to Google which is the other really useful website and I typed in Oracle Documentation online. I hit Search and I came up with all these things here. You can get access to Oracle Documentation online but I prefer to download and install it. If I go to Tahiti.Oracle.com, hit the 11.2 Link this is basically the documentation on Oracle's website. Remember Tahiti.Oracle.com. Which leads us to the other useful website is Google. Google, same as Yahoo but Google is more detailed, you can look up anything to do with Oracle. I already looked up Oracle Documentation Online and I found something and I could also, anything, anything to do with Oracle. Oracle Real Application Clusters, all these entries come up, I could look up How to code an Implicit Cursor for loop in PL SQL. That's very detailed but I guarantee something will come up. There you go PL SQL Explicit Cursors, that's a certain type of piece of coding inside the Oracle Database. We don't need to worry about the detail right now. I have a number of websites, the first one I have is a blog which I don't have very much on at the moment but I'm busy building it and it's called OraclePerformanceTuner.com. I will add to the entries as time goes by. I have an older website which is actually a website not a blog called OracleDBAEZPowell.com and on this website, I have a link called Relational Databases and there's a whole lot of stuff in here about Oracle. But it's an older version of Oracle, goes back to Oracle 8, Oracle 9 and Oracle 10. There's all sorts of interesting stuff there as well but it's dated. Once again, the two most useful sites are really actually Oracle.com and Google.
