- The Oracle FAQ is available on the Web at the following addresses:
-
- http://orafaq.cs.rmit.edu.au/ - Australia
- http://www.doag.org/orafaq/ - Germany
- http://www.ibi.co.za/frank/ - South Africa
- http://www.orafaq.org/ - USA (Michigan)
- http://www.orafaq.com/ - USA (Texas)
-
- We recommend you select the site closest to you to prevent
- congestion on the Internet and overloading of any particular
- server. If one of the above servers is inaccessible, please
- use one of the other mirror sites.
-
-
- 2) What is in the Oracle FAQ?
-
- The Oracle FAQ contains independent Oracle product related FAQs
- for DBAs and developers. The FAQ also contains scripts, white
- papers, news, jobs, forums, message boards, tips and training
- on Oracle and SQL. It is a valuable resource for all Oracle
- professionals. You may not get the Oracle company line, but
- will surely get an answer to just about any question concerning
- the software giant and its products.
-
-
- 3) Who should use the Oracle FAQ?
-
- The Oracle FAQ is primarily intended for "newbie" users trying
- to get up to speed with Oracle, but also includes information
- for the more seasoned Oracle Professionals. It should be
- referenced before asking questions on the Oracle-L mailing
- list or USENET newsgroups.
-
-
- 4) Where can one post Oracle related questions?
-
- If after reading the appropriate FAQs, you still cannot find
- the answer to your question, you may post your question to
- the ORACLE-L list, appropriate USENET newsgroup or FAQ
- Message Forum:
-
- USENET Newsgroups (using a Newsreader program or dejanews.com):
- news:comp.databases.oracle.server
- news:comp.databases.oracle.tools
- news:comp.databases.oracle.misc
- news:comp.databases.oracle.marketplace
-
- ORACLE-L List (using an E-Mail program):

-
- FAQ Message Forum (using a Web Browser):
- See http://www.orafaq.com/faqmessb.htm
-
- Make sure you understand the Netiquette Guidelines before
- posting your message (www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html).
-
- When you receive your answer, it is recommended that you
- post a summary to the list/newsgroup. It might also be nice
- to notify the ORACLE FAQ maintainers of the answer so that
- they can update the Oracle FAQ accordingly (keep in mind
- that they do not always have the time to scan the lists/
- newsgroups for new information).
-
-
- 5) How does one add information to the Oracle FAQ?
-
- We try our best to constantly improve the Oracle FAQ. However,
- we rely on the good will and support of our readers to notice

- contributions and corrections to orafaq@ibi.co.za.
- If you submission is accepted, your name will be featured
- with the content.
-
- NOTE: Please do not send us questions without detailed
- answers. Read question 4 (where can one post Oracle
- related questions?).
-
-
- 6) Can I add my own FAQ to the Oracle FAQ site?
-
- Sure, design your FAQ page(s) and send it to us for inclusion
- into the Oracle FAQ. Try to stick to the look, feel and style
- used in the rest of the FAQ.
-
-
- 7) Are there any translation projects for this FAQ?
-
- There was a Japanese translation of the Oracle FAQ some time
- ago. Maybe it is still out there (difficult to tell). If you
- want to translate one of the FAQs, or know about some cool
- translation techniques, please let us know.
-
-
