I have. I do. I will. Oracle may be at one extreme of the spectrum, but once you get to grips with it, you'll get some idea just why Mysql and Access are at the other - TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Yeah, I didn't want to link the straight PDF file, some people don't have the ability to view it straight in their browser.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/pdf/underground-php-oracle-manual.pdf - vamsi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I develop enterprise apps with Oracle and am looking to diversify. This is good info for me. It may not amount to much but atleast it's a start
- cephyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oracle has a free express edition for download that has quite a few nice features. It's great for learning oracle or for prototyping oracle based apps for businesses that aren't yet sure they want to spring for the full oracle license.
- cephyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I use oracle and php right now in my job. we're a non-profit that gets lots of donations from technology companies, particularly oracle. and php is great for some of our needs.
- vedichymn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4This seems worthwhile, because Oracle never makes anything as easy as it could be. The database install setup is one of the simpler installs they have, but holy crap, their enterprise applications are just a nightmare to install and maintain. :(
- emocat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This manual was updated to version 1.4 in May; it's much more polished now (and has extra info).
- caseydk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, it's more common than you think... but it's normally from groups like the Feds who have $B's invested in the infrastructure but are starting to use lighter weight tools on the front end.
When I was at the Library of Congress a while back, we had to build everything portable across Oracle & mysql. - charlietuna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use it at work. No complaints, and PL/SQL, while clunky and peculiar, makes stored procedures and OCI8 SQL calls easier to use.
My main question is: when are Oracle objects really useful? The only partial answer I have is when one casting as multiset, in order to return a collection from a function, or to store XMLType data within SQL tables.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5PHP and Oracle? WOW, NOW THERE'S A HIGHLY IN-DEMAND COMBINATION OF SKILLS! When's the Java and Access manual going to be available?
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4No kidding. Out of you 100 people who have digged it, how many of you have or ever will use Oracle? So why is this on the frontpage?
- safer9999, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1This is cool!
Neal Saferstein - cdecker, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1This is awesome. I'm glad to see that Oracle is finally on the PHP bandwagon. I know they have been for sometime but it's great...and I'm sure highly influential to utilizing PHP in the Enterprise.
On a related note, I just posted this article. http://digg.com/technology/PHP_Open_Source_Attempts_To_Reach_Federal_Government
We're attempting to get Oracle involved in the conference as they'd obviously be highly influential in getting the Federal Government to recognize the value of PHP.
