2 Chapter 1: Installation, Server Configuration, and Database Upgrades
racle Corporation has ambitiously positioned Oracle Database 10g as a
sophisticated self-managing database. Note that you don’t refer to the new
O10g database as Oracle10g, as in Oracle9i. The correct name of our new
database is Oracle Database 10g. Throughout this text, I refer to the database as Oracle
Database 10g, although I may occasionally refer to it as simply Oracle 10g, for convenience.
The database server I use in this book is the Oracle Database 10g Enterprise
Edition Release . I use both a UNIX platform and a Windows platform
for most of the examples in this book. You can probably replicate several examples
in this book using a different version of the Oracle software, but you can get the
Enterprise Edition software free from Oracle, so there isn’t any reason for not using
that version. Practicing using the new features is essential not only for passing the
test, but also for learning the features well enough to implement them
