This post is the second part of how to install Oracle Database 10g. After you finished installing the database, you can start by installing the listener. Just open Net Consfiguration Assistant in start menu -> all programs, usually found at Oracle - OraDb10g_home1 (default name in start menu) -> Configuration and Migration Tools -> Net Configuration Assistant. But first you have to set up the Oracle Net Admin (Net Manager), this also in Configuration and Migration Tools.

Many LCD monitors have one or more dead pixel on their screen panel. As you know, a dead pixel is a defective pixel that remains unlit or you can say always off pixel. This kind of defective pixels are usually best seen against a bright background, like white, it’s the best. Many people usually say that dead pixel is a pixel that remains on, a white colored pixel or so on, but actually, these are defective pixels that perform unexpected/ undesirable. Defective pixels itself by ISO 13406-2 are distinguished between three different types of defective pixels. Hot pixel, is the opposite of dead pixel. This pixel is always on and white colored pixel. Dead pixel, is a pixel that always off and Stuck Pixel, will usually be most visible against a black background. These defective pixels happen because of LCD’s transistor(s) malfunctioning.

So, here’s a software that can help you to test the LCD monitor you want to buy before you feel disappointed. Dead Pixel Buddy is a software that can do several color test for your LCD. It can do white screen background test to see a dead pixel or more on your screen and a black bankground to see hot pixels.

ISO 13406-2, is an ISO standard for LCD replacement warranty, but not all manufacturers use this standard, you have to know their standard before you buy the LCD and ready for their warranty agreement, you can see the detailed standard at Wikipedia.

These days, who don’t know Oracle? Many firms and DBA use this software to keep them earn money and keep their database that contains many sensitive information. But unfortunately, installing Oracle is a bit difficult, because for the beginner, they don’t know many words, words that they never hear before, and moreover Oracle gave many configurations that I think those are too difficult to understand and not likely too necessary to show those settings configuration, but these may be important for experienced user to do those. I think Oracle should give two options for installation, express and custom like another software.

Setup Wizard

Back to topic, after you insert the Oracle DVD or after you download it, just start install Oracle Database (setup.exe from Database).

This picture above is the first step you install the database, just choose basic installation and choose the installation directory. In this page you have to choose whether you create starter database, created by Oracle itself, or you can create your own database later after the installation, for beginner I suggest you choose to make Oracle starter database, just choose your global database name and password. Many people think this password is for SYS and SYSTEM username, but they’re wrong. These people can’t log on into Manager Console as administrator (SYSTEM) because of this. You have to set SYSTEM password manually later. Just click next and so on until you get firewall warning, just click unblock to javaw.

Unblock javaw

Just wait until the installation is finished and click exit. I will show you how to create the database in the next post. Hope I have enough power to post it! Any questions?
