** //Question//: How did your group configured the Oracle Software. What have you learned while doing the installation and configuration? **
//Answer//: Our group first downloaded the Oracle 10g installer from the Oracle website. One of our group mates, Joanna, already had an account so she was the one who downloaded the installer. We then started the installation on one computer; but this was hindered by an error numbered 1628 - cannot complete installation. With the dilemma, we attempted to install the software the second time using a different station. However, the change in computer still result to error 1628. Losing ground, the team decided to try to download the standard edition of the oracle database. But before the download was completed, one of our group mates has successfully installed the software with the suggestion of another group to use the administrator account.

We learned that the account with root permission as stated in the oracle installation guide pertains to the administrator account in Windows XP.

=__**What did we learn?**__= Taking CS 197 taught us the basics of Oracle. It has initiated the will to learn more about database management and the SQL language. In addition, the course served as a means of getting ourselves exposed to the applications and development of database programs that definitely provided more than just a background in database management systems.

Also, in this course, the we have played different roles in completing the project, which are assigned according to our capabilities. During the progress of the project, we learned the value of task delegation and realized that we cannot do everything on our own. We saw and experienced the efficiency of assigning tasks to those who can perform them best. Moreover, we have gained friendship and the value of team work and cooperation that have helped in developing our personalities as students and future industry players.
