The article helped me a whole lot installing oracle on my disk. I then imported a dump file we are currently working on, tricked stuff a little bit to import it without loss (character set didn't match, so I tweaked the terminal into thinking it was MS-Win-1252 compatible, using NLS_LANG param). Maybe this was a very silly thing to do, maybe this is totally unrelated, but some of the files on my hard drive were eaten up by the contents of the DB i just imported. So when I open some files (in fact, all the files that were lately created on the disk), their content is replaced by content from the imported DB (mostly binary content + some readable text parts). I think this is a very bad thing, whatever the reason is... Either the Mac's file system is buggy, either Oracle is, but this is not cool at all! Any thought? Thanks, have luck ;-)
