* Found a bug in the tutorial for the query builder and how to sort a query. When you are using query builder and want to sort a query, you need to let the query builder know that you want to sort by a certain field, and in which order those fields should be sorted as you can sort by more than one field. The tutorial does not mention this, and in fact shows the broken output.

Discussion

Oracle 10g Express

Installing this software is not all that hard in linux or Windows, as they both have packages that simply install without too much trouble. One place that I am now finding trouble is with the interface to the linux installation from a linux machine, as there appears to be some sort of java interface that is not quite working right in firefox or mozilla, at least when it comes to editing script inputs.

Case Sensitivity

By default, when creating new tables, the names of the tables in the GUI are set to automatically default to all upper-case. There is a check box to turn on case-sensitivity, but by default it appears that this box is not checked.

Tutorial

  • Found a bug in the tutorial for the query builder and how to sort a query. When you are using query builder and want to sort a query, you need to let the query builder know that you want to sort by a certain field, and in which order those fields should be sorted as you can sort by more than one field. The tutorial does not mention this, and in fact shows the broken output.
