< shmookey> why was I expecting oracle to be easy to set up :/
< shmookey> this is like a whole new ecosystem and I have no idea what I'm doing
< Spanky> need help?
< Spanky> i'm know some serious oracle DBA's
< shmookey> I think I'll be ok, there's plenty of information on the web and I don't have any specific questions yet
< Spanky> :)
< shmookey> right now I've just installed the client part and I'm trying to get it to connect to an existing database
< shmookey> seems like the installer just did a big poo into a folder and I don't know how that's supposed to help
< shmookey> oh, and it registered itself with visual studio
< shmookey> but I haven't been able to coerce it into actually making a connection yet
< shmookey> the documentation is like what you get with a cisco switch or a car: it assumes you already know how to drive it
