Hello Kacyndra,

What a coincidence! I was just reading up on this a couple of days ago...


This is some major news for Oracle and PHP fans (like me). As usual, I have bookmarked the page and I will be "experimenting"...

Whether you want to look for some other forum - that is your choice but nobody was a C++ expert when we opened the C/C++ forums here either. Since every page here on GIDForums™ is (thoroughly) optimised for search engines, over time, we attracted members like dsmith, luciwiz, WaltP, davekw7x, Max Payne, cable_guy-67 and too many others to list.

I am sure we can do the same for an Oracle Forum someday soon.

I don't claim to know a lot about Oracle but I can tell you from a business/jobs point of view Oracle and SQL are both good to learn a lot of companies including the one I work for uses both Oracle and SQL so if you could pick one of them up should go a long way in adding to your over all appeal to companies.

I took some classes for "Oracle Administration" and "Database Development". So I'm not sure if that Oracle class will deal with database administration (which is a particular subject) or just with SQL and Oracle's extension to the standard, SQL *Plus.
If it's just SQL, the MySQL / PHP Forum is just the place to post.
For administration purposes, perhaps J will open a forum some day, but until then I don't think anybody will mind if some Oracle-specific questions popped-up on that forum. If I remember correctly, this is the way the FLTK Forum and the .NET Forum were born.

I'm sure there are some people here who dealt with Oracle more than I did, and new ones will come.

If you want an early start, you can download Oracle for free and install it on your home PC (you need a lot of RAMs to run both the client and server on your PC, mainly because the user interface is designed in Java).

Best regards,
Lucian
