This chapter provides an overview of installing Oracle HTML DB and describes issues to consider before installing.

This chapter contains these topics:

• Overview of the Installation Process
• Understanding the Installation Process
• Upgrading from a Previous Version of Oracle HTML DB

Overview of the Installation Process
The installation process consists of four parts:

1. Plan your installation: This chapter offers an overview of the steps required to install Oracle HTML DB.
2. Verify installation requirements: Chapter 2, “Oracle HTML DB Installation Requirements” describes the minimum requirements that your system must meet before you install the software.
3. Install the software: Use the following sections to install Oracle HTML DB: Chapter 3, “Installing the Software” describes how to install the software. Appendix A, “Oracle HTML DB Troubleshooting” provides installation troubleshooting advice.
4. Complete postinstallation tasks: Chapter 4, “Oracle HTML DB Post-in

Understanding the Installation Process
Oracle HTML DB is a browser based development environment that enables non-programmers to create database-centric Web applications. Oracle HTML DB provides developers with the productivity of a desktop database, but with the security, reliability, and performance of the Oracle database.

Introduction
Yahoo! makes a lot of structured data available to developers through its Web services, like Flickr and Local, and through other sources like RSS (news) or CSV documents (finance). There are also numerous external Web services and APIs outside of Yahoo! that provide valuable data. These disparate services require developers to locate the right URLs for accessing them and the documentation for querying them. Data remains isolated and separated, requiring developers to combine and work on the data once it’s returned to them.

The YQL platform provides a mediator service that enables developers to query, filter, and combine data across Yahoo! and beyond. YQL exposes a SQL-like SELECT syntax that is both familiar to developers and expressive enough for getting the right data. Through the SHOW and DESC commands we attempt to make YQL self-documenting, enabling developers to discover the available data sources and structure without opening another web browser or reading a manual.

Overview

PostgreSQL 8.2 now has a number of DTrace probes embedded in the source code. These probes will enable developers and system administrators to easily observe the behavior of PostgreSQL with simple scripting programs called D scripts. The current set of probes is fairly small, but more can easily be added, and the community is encouraged to contribute more. The probes were added using the Generic Monitoring Framework. See this proposal for more details http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00945.php

This document describes how to:

• Compile PostgreSQL with DTrace
• Use the existing DTrace probes
• Add new DTrace probes

Compile PostgreSQL with DTrace

By default DTrace probes are disabled, and the user needs to explicitly tell the configure script to make the probes available in PostgreSQL. Certainly, enabling DTrace only makes sense on Operating Systems with DTrace facility. Currently DTrace is available on Solaris 10+ and soon on FreeBSD and Mac OS X.

This manual provides information about Oracle’s data warehousing capabilities. This preface contains these topics:

• Audience
• Organization
• Related Documentation
• Conventions
• Documentation Accessibility

Note: The Oracle Data Warehousing Guide contains information that describes the features and functionality of the Oracle Database Standard Edition, Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Database Personal Edition products. These products have the same basic features. However, several advanced features are available only with the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition or Oracle Database Personal Edition, and some of these are optional. For
example, to create partitioned tables and indexes, you must have the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition or Oracle Database Personal Edition.

Audience

This guide is intended for database administrators, system administrators, and database application developers who design, maintain, and use data warehouses. To use this document, you need to be familiar with relational database concepts, basic Oracle server concepts, and the operating system environment under which you are running Oracle.

This manual describes the features of the DB Audit Performance Add-on for Microsoft SQL Server, including how to use the install and configure the add-on, use graphical user interface and performance audit and analysis reports.

When to Use the Performance Auditing Add-on

If you are not satisfied with your SQL Server performance, you can add additional CPU or improve other hardware characteristics to boost overall performance. This seems to be obvious, the more CPUs your server has, the faster it can perform. However, the standard edition of SQL Server can support up to 4 CPUs only. For support for more than 4 CPUs, and up to 32 CPUs when using Windows 2000 or 2003 Datacenter Server, you will need to run SQL Server 2000 or 2005 Enterprise Edition.

A cheaper alternative to purchasing expensive hardware and software upgrades is tuning SQL Server configuration and applications and making them run more efficient.

Microsoft’s Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) track for Windows 2000 is the premier certification for computer industry professionals. Covering the core technologies around which Microsoft’s future will be built, the MCSE Windows 2000 program is a powerful credential for career advancement.

This book has been developed to give you the critical skills and knowledge you need to prepare for one of the electives for the MCSE certification program: Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft® SQL ServerTM 2000 Enterprise Edition (Exam 70-229).

NOTE:
This exam is also one of the required exams for the Microsoft Certified Database Administrators (MCDBA). We have chosen to focus on the MCSE track as that is by far the most popular of Microsoft’s certification tracks. As of this printing, there were over 400,000 MCSEs, and roughly 20,000 MCDBAs. We will discuss all of the different tracks below.
