Oracle Database Installation - Links and Steps...

     As I mentioned in my previous post, I am going to place many helpful posts to understand the concepts of SQL and PL/SQL (ORACLE). Oracle is the simplest language of all the programming languages  to learn. But to get command on this language we need to do lot of practice. So, I am going to place posts related to different practice exercises also.

    In order to practice Oracle we need Oracle Database (9i or10g or 11g) to be installed in our systems. So, In this post I am providing links and steps for installing the Oracle Database.

   We can download the Oracle database10g from the following links. Actually, the database file which we are going to download for installation will depend on the type of OS in our systems.
