I have just installed Oracle7 on AXP on OpenVMS and planning to do the
same on OSF. Installation was quite straight forward on OpenVMS.
However, building an application with their so called user freindly 4GL
tool set is another story!! I can't seem to get any of the tools to
work such the SQL*DBA, SQL*NET, etc.. I have defined all the right logicals
(atleast I think I have) correctly, but nothing seems to work. When I
try to invoke SQLDBA it comes back with a error activating ORA_COREV7!!
Since this is my first experience with ORACLE I am quite surprised at
their documentation and user interface. It seems like it is far more
complex than Rdb just to get things or the basics going!! Perhaps it is
my lack of knowledge of ORACLE!
Anyway, since getting support from ORACLE is currently under political
hold, I would appreciate if anyone had experience with the product
point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

So, someone expects you to work with a new product that you have no
knowledge of and not use any support from the vendor of the product?
Sounds like a prescription for failure.
We in what used to be the Production Systems Resource Centers
anticipated this and were setting up Oracle training for the end of
this month (this would put us on our way to being "open" consultants on
other than DEC data management products). However, we have been
reorgainzed (into Digital Consulting, no less) and we too have found
that the training is on "political hold". It looks like the corporation
only wants us to concentrate on delivering consulting for our own
products for the time being. We better be careful, pretty soon they'll
want us to sell them also. Ooops, selling our products, that was last
fiscal year.
;-} (sarcasm? you bet)

hold on - PC WEEK yesterday had Bob Palmer saying with the new
commission plan reps would be selling Oracle as much as selling Rdb.
Seems the plan from the higher-ups is being diluted again!

Gee, and I thought it sounded like training for our own products was kind of trying-to-be-put-on-hold due to what MCS, etal. has been asked to ramp up on and how "there are already course for Rdb, etal." Who is supposed to be in charge of the "national vision" for training ? I keep hearing the CBUs drive everything but that always sounds like a couple of levels of indirection from whatever is being done at the moment. Sybase training is unavailable internally as well. Question: outside of eduplan, or convenience-by-proximity, etc. why would customers want to get their Oracle training from Digital instead of Oracle directly ?! Isn't this a prime target for "out-sourcing" ? Regards, rcs | |||||
