Jeremiah,
Excellent! I suppose that allows you to read and search any published article, but not download patches for Oracle database servers?
Related to this, I wrote the following a few years ago:
- How to Get an Account [on Metalink] without Buying Support
There's no free lunch under the sun. But Oracle Metalink allows you to use somebody else's account as long as you're working with him (her) to solve a problem. This means a lot to independent consultants. You can ask the person you're helping to solve a problem that his company add you to their Metalink account list. Technically, once you're done with the help or consulting work, your account should be removed. But they may be willing to keep you on the list either for being nice or expecting your help soon.
