Oracle self-training

Hi all,
I use Oracle 8.1.6 in work a little but I'd like to learn alot more about it especially troubleshooting and system administration. Hopefully I'd like to do exams in this one day. Therefore, I'm going to download Oracle 9i for home PC to play around with.
1) What's the difference between Lite and Personal.
2) After 30 days, what happens when the licence expires, will it stop working or just become restricted. How much is a licence to buy.
3) Does anyone know of a good source of docs to start learning about system adminstation of Oracle and troubleshooting beside the docs on this website.
Thanks
Shane

1. Lite is intended for use in small footprint situations like handhelds etc. Personal is a slightly stripped down version of the standard database. It will do most of what the "real" product will, but cannot handle large volumes and a few other limitations.
2. Nothing happens. As long as you are not using the software for commercial purposes, or as a production system, you can continue to use it.
3. Although you should start with Oracle's documentation (Read the Concepts Guide until you have it memorized.) some other good sources other than this site are:

  • Do you recommend me "Learning Oracle 11g Training DVD - Tutorial Video"?

    Hi
    I found on Amazon "Learning Oracle 11g Training DVD - Tutorial Video by InfiniteSkills". Is it worth it? There are no Amazon reviews :-(
    Do you use other video training? What do you recommend me?

    I don't know if the video is any good, but Lewis Cunningham is a reasonably well-known authority on Oracle. He talks about the release of the video in his blog, gives a table of contents and a link to some samples:

  • DB Connection in Oracle Self Service Modules

    Hi,
    I have one question about oracle Self Service modules.
    I am using Oracle Ebusiness Suite 11.5.10 on Oracle 10g database.
    What database user it connects to when we login to Oracle Apps Self service modules?
    Assuming that its 'APPS' db user, can I change this db user to some other user ?
    We are planning to archive and purge the workflow tables to another database and want to access that
    data using db link.
    So, we want to access archived data stored in other database using the db link.
    Can somebody explain me how to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    DR

    What database user it connects to when we login to Oracle Apps Self service modules?Apps user.
    Assuming that its 'APPS' db user, can I change this db user to some other user ? You cannot change this user as it is not easy to do that, plus you would lose support (unless you have your own custom module).
    We are planning to archive and purge the workflow tables to another database and want to access that data using db link.
    So, we want to access archived data stored in other database using the db link.
    Can somebody explain me how to achieve this?Is it OK for you to create a user like Apps user with read only privileges? If yes, have a look at the following link:

  • Oracle Self Service time

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me that how to have default into oracle self service time. For e.g suppose if i have not submitted time card from 6/12-6/18 then in the week of 6/19 - 6/25, I should see the timecard for 6/12-6/18 in oracle self service time not for 6/19-6/25

    Unless you are on R12.1, you can't control this value. If you are on 12.1, Default Timecard Period has been added to preference Self Service Timecard Period for a Worker, where the following options are available:
    Period on or after system date
    Earliest Period prior to system date
    Closest Period prior to system date

  • Date Formats in Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service

    Can someone tell me what determines the Date format that appears on Oracle Applications Forms and Oracle Self Service ?
    *1.* In Oracle HRMS,all dates i see on the Forms are of the Format "MM/DD/YYYY" but my NLS Parameters are not in this format .I'm giving the results for the NLS parameters below.I thought the date formats are determined by the NLS format.Is there something else that determines the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms ?
    NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
    NLS_LANGUAGE     :AMERICAN
    NLS_TERRITORY     :AMERICA
    NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
    NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
    NLS_TERRITORY     :america
    NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS
    NLS_DATE_FORMAT     :DD-MON-RR
    NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE     :
    NLS_LANGUAGE     :american
    NLS_TERRITORY     :america
    *2* What about the profile option : ICX_DATE_FORMAT_MASK ? Does it determine the Date Format for Self Service alone or does it impact the date format appearing on Oracle Applications Forms and the actual database also ?
    *3* If I use a to_date function in ,say, a pl/sql function that i code for some custom requirements,what will be the output of the date format ? Does it take the format given in NLS paramaters or is it determined by anything else?
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply ,but I'm still confused ..
    Here are the profile options I'm seeing for one of my instance :
    ICX: Date format mask - 12/31/1999
    ICX: Date language - American English
    ICX: Language - American English
    ICX: NLS Sort - BINARY
    ICX: Territory - United States
    ICX: Numeric characters - NULL
    NLS parameters are given in my original email.
    In Self Service applications(OAF) ,the date format is appearing in "mm/dd/yyyy" format but when i login to Forms based applications ,I see the date format as "dd-mon-yyyy".What determines this date format ?
    How can i make the date format to always return one format everywhere ,be it Self Service (OAF) or Oracle Forms ?
    I'm getting date format related errors for my code because of default date formats changing intermittently when i log into Self Service.I want to know if there is anyway to prevent this from happening?
    Thanks in advance.
