We will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on May 20th, 2013 at 02:00 GMT.
Downloading and Installing Oracle Documentation. Once again we go to Oracle.com, we let it come up, we go to Support and we roll over from Support to the Documentation Link. I'm going to simply download the 11g Release 2 Documentation for the moment. I'm going to click on this link and on this page, I'm going to click the Oracle Database 11g Release 2, 11.2. I'm downloading the zip file basically. So I'm going to click on this thing and it's done something unexpected. Okay. So let's not click on that thing, what this thing here, this link is doing is actually going to the online documentation. What I want to do is I want to download it, so I'm going to go to this tiny little Zip Link here and left-click that. And here we go, now it's going to allow me to download this document, it's big, almost a gig. We're going to let it run, what we can do is go back to here again, this link gives me the online documentation and if I go into a specific document, yes it does select it from online which is the same thing as going to the online version of the documentation on Tahiti which is the same server. As far as I can tell, it may actually be two different forms of the documentation, that's useful. At present we are downloading the documentation, it's going to take a long time to run so I'm going to pause and when it completes I'll show you how to install it and this is the Oracle Documentation downloaded. So we can open the containing folder, what I like to do is to copy it into a non-temporary type directory because those can be deleted and somewhere like this, actually I already have a file there. What we'll do is we'll copy it in there, see if it's exactly the same size, which it may not be. So we'll let that copy and here the file is copied and it looks like it's a slightly different size so I'm going to do a trek and a rename. Going to Control C to copy that name, click on this, I'm going to delete this file, click Yes and then I'm going to rename this file with the old name, the one that I copied into the buffer. Right. Now to install it all I do is right-click and I do Extract to here. I agree when zip will extract it into this current directory and for some reason it gives it a funny name which and it's busy extracting it as you can see. This could take a while and here is the documentation decompressed and it's actually stored in this directory so what I can do is to rename this, like this, using the Paste, get rid of the zip, we don't want a directory called doc. And something I like to do, is first of all, I'm going to actually create a shortcut and I can call that shortcut the same thing, Control V to paste with the same extension HTM otherwise nothing will be able to read it. Now I'm going to close this window and expose the desktop, what I like to do is put this on my desktop. So that when I want to access the Oracle Documentation on my machine, all I do is double-click it and there we have the Oracle Documentation for Oracle Database 11g 11.2 downloaded and installed on my client Windows XP machine.
