Hello

I got ---Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows

and downloaded this file

Download the Complete Files
10201_database_win32.zip (655,025,354 bytes)


The question is , is it ok that I have MS SQL Server on my computer or
should I remove it?

Does the file I downloaded contain a clint tools as well (Enterprise
Manager.....)?


Any other tips while setup is running...
Thanks

No, Oracle doesn't charge your for having MS SQL server on your system.
This is Oracle, isn't it. Oracle doesn't try to get market share by
breaking other companies products. Microsoft does. Oracle doesn't need
that.

However, it does want you to read those manuals.
The Getting Started Manual for instance
(http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage?remark=tahiti)
It's even free!
In that case you would have noticed Oracle comes with a little thingy
called the DbControl. It is a graphical interface managing 1 database.

The only important tip for people exposed to Microsoft is

R E A D T H O S E M A N U A L S

Oracle is not a toy, it is not a point and shoot product, and you will
fail if you don't read those manuals.
Actually, you have already formed bad habits by just starting the
installation and not reading anything.
