What do you think about Oracle 10g, 11g database?
I'm studying Oracle database for university.
Professor recommended to install 10g (less bloat)
I installed 10g on Legal Windows XP in VirtualBox
So now after trying to work with it for some 3 days... my impression isn't all that good...
For most part I use Web interfase... because I don't like SQLpluss in command prompt.... (psql [PostgreSQL client] in terminal is MUCH, MUCH better)
I got nuts, when I can't do some stuff, that I would expect like loading 1.2MB data file in table)
I'm used to PosrgreSQL & Unix like os.
I just hate that Oracle 10g doesn't have boolean data type (ok, I can live without it, but it's annoying)
I find it stupid, that 10g doesn't have serial data type (like in PostgreSQL)
Of course there are some things that 10g can and PostgreSQL can't.
I wanted to know what do you think about it
P.S.
Now installing Debian in VirtualBox to try 10g on Linux (failed to install on Ubuntu)
I hope it will be much better experiance
