Oracle Tips by Burleson

Introduction to the Basics

The installation and configuration is probably not going to be the most popular part of any book as most readers would much rather get to the development part of the book.  However, for anyone not having access to an installation of HTML DB, this section should get one up and running in about two hours, depending on download speeds.  If HTML DB is already installed somewhere, this section can be skipped and used as reference at a later date when it is needed.

An alternative to spending time on the installation is to go to http://htmldb.oracle.com and request a workspace.  This is an Oracle hosted and maintained development environment for the public.

The instruction in the first three chapters is meant to get you up and running as quickly as possible with some explanation of what is being installed.  It is not meant to be an in-depth reference.  The Oracle online documentation can be referenced for more information.
