RE: Install of Oracle on Windows NT Workstation

Paul,

On my NT4 SP5 workstation the MMC snapin for both 815 and 816 startup ok and can see the installed databases.

What part of them doesn't work for you?

According to documentation I received with another product (Diskeeper) MMC requires IE 4.01 or greater.

Tony,

The only thing that you'll lose is the MMC (Microsoft Management Console) snap-in for the Internet Service Manager GUI App. That means if you want a GUI for starting/stopping services etc. - you're stuck with the Java-based DBA Studio.

I'm fond of SQL*Plus for any kind of admininstration ... pretty OEM stuff (e.g. rotating transparent globes) over a dialup connection sux ...

I prefer deploying workgroup Oracle Servers on Workstation, rather than Server, as there's much less of a chance for Site Admins to run other services on the box.
If you need to publish .html docs, Apache on NT Wks works just fine.
