Installed oracle 11g !!

Installed oracle 11g today. Not a big deal. Just the same old stuff as oracle 10g. No issues at all during the installation.

Installed VMWare, Oracle enterprise linux 5, and then oracle 11g.

As always, Tim Hall and Dizwell are out there to help us out with kernel parameters and security limits etc..., saving us from goin' through oracle documentation. Thanks to these guys !!

Tim Hall's oracle 11g installation can be found using the link below.

Dizwell also has oracle 11g installation on Centos 5, which is released very recently. Did not really go for it since its released recently and not sure how stable it was with kernel parameter setttings and all.



The only difference I have found (installation wise) is that they have introduced a configuration manager into the list of installations you want, which will be associated with your metalink CSI account and collect information required in case you open up a SR with oracle. Not sure how useful it is. I've ignored it anyway. They have renamed HTML DB to Oracle Application Express and looks like they have introducted sql developer into all client installations.

Did not really dig into the new features yet, but very much interested in doin' so.

Next steps :

1. New features in oracle 11g
2. Install oracle 11g RAC.
