How do I obtain a login for metalink?

and what kind of document does it contain?

are they the same as the documentation that you get from OTN site?


thanks

Go to metalink.oracle.com

To obtain a login, you'll need a customer service number. then the rest of the registration process is pretty simple.

The documentation it contains is a slew of white papers, TARs (Technical Assistance Requests), release notes, and other assorted forms of documentation all in a searchable database. Generally, it's where I start to research a problem, and there is almost always some sniplet of info pertaining to my problem.

Otherwise, I haven't been to the OTN site, so I am not sure what documentation is there.
