ORACLE APP R12 Install, Patch, and Maintain

http://scottengnote.blogspot.com/2008/06/oracle-app-r12-install-patch-and.html
http://scottengnote.blogspot.com/2008/06/oracle-app-r12-install-patch-and.html

荒廢了很久,也很久沒想過要再拿張認證了,
有時候覺得不是自己學什麼決定自己去念些什麼.
反而常常是來了什麼工作,於是又再投入進去.

從前的階段性任務一段一段,完成後好像都沒留下些什麼?這點實在不是個當IT或是任何知識性產業工作者該犯的錯誤.我又特別的糟,不是寫在書上,就是都用PAPER印出來筆記寫在上頭,時間一久,要用到或是朋友問起,都只剩下很微薄的回憶,然後從亂七八糟的文件堆裡翻,常常最後又求助於萬能的GOOGLE,枉費了念過測過整理過的一些東西.

這次K老大( 我以前公司老大,很厲害,由其是唸人,XD ) 非常好心的給我一個機會,於是我踏入除了ORACLE DB外,ORACLE的另外一塊天地,坦白說有點惶恐,因為除了有基本的DB觀念及UNIX的基本操作外,我對ORACLE APP R12實在是陌生倒不行.

我這個人,做事情其實不是挺行學東西也沒很快,不過既來之則安之,最少不要以後被人家說,喔有用過ORACLE APP R12怎麼什麼概念也沒有啊!以下的內容來自於oracle官網的Oracle EBS R12 Applications Database Administrator Certified Professional考試編號1Z1-238,沒打算去考,只是拿這個當一個學習的大方向.(html 弄TABLE太麻煩了,所以用Google Docs XD)



接下來要再接再厲把每個章節我有用到的給整理下來.希望能夠越來越上手
