All language subtitles for [SubtitleTools.com] Documentation - Learning Oracle 12c [Video]

In this lesson, we
want to take a look--

really, a tour-- through some
of the documentation that's

available to us from
Oracle's website.

So we'll go to www.oracle.com.

We'll go to OTN, which stands
for the Oracle Technology

Network.

We have downloads here, we
have documentation here,

and we're interested
in documentation.

The documentation
that's available to us

from Oracle's website is
really a gift in a way

because it can be so
incredibly useful to anyone

trying to learn Oracle.

And not just Oracle
database, but Oracle Linux,

Oracle Solaris, the
Fusion Middleware,

even learning about
systems that you may not

have hands-on experience
with, such as Exadata.

You may not be able to
have an Exadata system,

but you can learn about it
through the documentation

links.

We're going to take a look at
the database documentation.

But before we do that,
let's go to System software,

and we'll take a
look at Oracle Linux.

All right, so this
is the main page

for Oracle Linux Documentation.

We'll click on View library.

This is an example of a
lot of the documentation we

have here for Oracle Linux 6.

So we want to take a look
at the installation guide.

We have the option of viewing
it in HTML, PDF, or even EPUB,

if we want to download it.

So we'll click HTML.

And let's take a look at
planning the installation.

All right, so if
we were planning

an installation of Oracle
Linux, here's some information.

It's a table to
help prepare what

you want to do on the
system, things about network

interfaces, languages,
whether you're

using text-based or
graphical installation,

so on and so forth.

Just an example of the
type of documentation

that's available to
you on the website.

Now let's go back and
take a look at Solaris 11.

And we're going to review
the English library.

We have other languages as well.

Again, more documentation
about all things

related to Oracle Solaris.

So just to take a
look at one of them,

let's look at the Quick Start
Guide to installing Solaris 11.

This is neat because it actually
has a little bit of a wizard

here to step you through
exactly which documentation you

need to see.

So we'll say, I want to
perform a simple interactive

installation.

It comes back with a
little bit of a flowchart.

Have you prepared?

If not, you can go for
preparing the installation.

If you have, you follow
the flowchart down to here.

And we want to see what it's
like for a GUI installer.

And then from here, we have the
section on using live media.

And we just click in View
the Documentation as we wish.

Let's also take a look in the
Virtualization section, Oracle

VM.

Again, we had the option
of viewing the library

or downloading it, so
we'll View Library.

And let's look at the
Getting Started Guide

in HTML, Getting
Started with Oracle VM.

And this is neat because
the documentation

is put together in a little bit
of a wizard-type of a thing.

So it shows you where
we're going to go.

Click Next.

Then it gives us full
screenshots of everything

that we're talking
about doing as we

prepare for an installation
of Oracle's Virtualization

software.

Again, click it for
a little better look.

Click Next again.

And then we can see
more screenshots,

lots of very detailed
type of information.

Very useful stuff.

So even if you are not planning
an installation of Oracle VM

and you just want to
learn more about it,

you can step through
basically a wizard

of how you would set it up.

And lastly, of course, we want
to go back up to the database.

And we're going to take a look
at Database 12c, Release 1.

Here, we have the
documentation or the ability

to download it in a zip file.

And here is the entire
documentation library

for Oracle 12c,
everything related to it.

There's categories
over here that

have many, many, many
documents underneath it.

So there's just a wealth
of information here.

I just wanted to
point out a couple

of things that are useful to
people who are learning Oracle.

The first is the
two-day DBA link.

And what this is an example
of the typical topics that

are relevant to us as a DBA,
things like installing, getting

started, how to configure
a network environment.

So it's meant to
be a concise look

at the overall job of database
administration in 12c.

Now just to give you
a little hint here

that you could miss
when you're looking

at this big documentation
library, let's go up here

and click Master Book List.

So this is going to put all the
documentation in front of us

really in a way that we can
just look at it in rows.

I wanted to point out one
document that is probably

more important for
DBAs than any other,

and that is simply a
document called Reference.

It would be very
easy to miss this

if you're looking through
all of this documentation.

But the document
that's called Reference

is one of the oldest in
the documentation library.

So we'll look at contents on it.

And then we want to, just to
point out a couple of things

here, so there's three
really important sections

in this document--

initialization
parameters that control

the database, static
data dictionary

views and dynamic
performance views

that can give us
information about what's

happening in the database.

So again, the list
of documentation

here is very complete
and fully downloadable

and absolutely free.
