Exploring the example database
In this recipe, we will prepare a database to use for our examples.
Getting ready
We need an Oracle Database 11gR2 system up and running to create our database. The host system could be a UNIX/Linux or Windows physical or virtual machine. If you want to use a virtual machine, be sure to follow the minimum CPU and memory requirements for the Oracle installation.
