Oracle provides documentation on several locations:

  • OTN, the Oracle Technical Network (http://otn.oracle.com/). To access most of the contents a free login is required.
  • Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com/). This site is reserved for users with a support contract. A support identifier (SID) is needed to create a login.
  • Discussion Forums (http://www.oracle.com/forums/). Part of the OTN and also searchable through Metalink. The general documentation can be found on the OTN (http://otn.oracle.com/docs/). These are the same sets of documentation included on the distribution CDs.

Internal documents are called Notes and identified by a number. You can find them on Metalink, but if you don't have access you can search the forums, as many are posted there by the support staff.
