Oracle By Example (OBE) - Oracle Database 10g Release 2 

      
  Finding it hard to keep up with the latest Oracle Database 10g features and releases? Want to try Real Application Clusters (RAC) and Automated Storage Management (ASM), but don't have the hardware or time to set up an environment?
      
      
 The Oracle by Example (OBE) series provides hands-on tutorials that include step-by-step instructions on how to perform these tasks and more. With the OBE series, you can quickly learn and implement the latest features, and learn by doing. Using VMWare, a comprehensive VM environment has been built for you to examine any OBE you choose to explore on a full RAC-enabled database environment. For example, learn how to encrypt data using Transparent Data Encryption, extract data from XML documents using Xquery, manage disks and disk groups using Automated Storage Management (ASM) and backup and restore your database and files using Oracle Secure Backup.
