Hi Ann,

oracle is supported until v7.1.6 - which is no longer supported. The database is no longer running on the mac. You could run the windoze version in VPC. Don't forget there are more powerfull programming environments for oracle that are mac native and truly x-platform - like omnis studio. The backand can be oracle but also any other of the known dbms systems.
