The purpose of this Oracle 11g training course module is to offer a step-by-step guide for the configuration of a Linux or Microsoft Windows server to host an Oracle database Enterprise Edition installation. Especially in a Linux environment installation of the database requires careful preparation, configuration and sometimes troubleshooting in order to succeed.
