Guys can someone explain to me just what exactly UNIX and Oracle are?
From what I understand UNIX seems to like a 'DOS' operating system and Oracle is like a large database os.
Is this right or am i thick?
Thanks

Oracle and UNIX

Other peeps should give a normal explanation rather than a lazy one...

 

Oracle

Unix

Google / wikipedia are your friends.


EDIT: Damn that Cheekmaster! he's to fast for me!

 

Unix is an operating system much like linux - solaris and FreeBSB and NetBSD are the popular flavours.

Oracle is a database Management System

 

where did you 2 come from???

 

from the same place as every one else.....

























.....the punani!

 

LMAO

 

Just a small point - IMHO Linux is a variant of Unix.

(Ignoring for the moment that the name 'Unix' has been through a number of owners and it legaly has meant different things at various times.)

If im right......

Unix is the original OS from what Linux was derived. It could be considered the Grandaddy of most modern day OS's.

And its still in use today by a lot of companies as file servers.

As for Oracle wasnt that something along the lines of teletex???

 

There *was* an 'Oracle' like that - it was the ITV teletext service (The BBC one was Ceefax). However - in context I suspect that the one wanted here is the huge RDBMS marketed by the Oracle company.

Can't believe nobody gave this definition: link

 

Oracle is quite expensive..

 

True.

However - it is possible to get a 'personal edition' of Oracle for free.

Harry.

 

Dare I say it

"You are being thick"

UNIX is the GRAND DADDY of all operating sytems - from it flowed DOS, WINDOWS, APPLE, NOVEL and its child LINIX.

Oracle is a BIG database some think good some think OK.
