Create an Oracle Database for View Composer
View Composer can store linked-clone desktop information in an Oracle 11g, 10g, or 9i database. You create
a View Composer database by adding it to an existing Oracle instance and configuring an ODBC data source
for it. You can add a new View Composer database by using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant or
by running a SQL statement.
