Re: Personal Oracle and P2P Network

You must run installer and for all question press next:-) After this you can use Oracle on the machine to which Oracle was installed (client installed like a part of oracle's server without yours). But to access Oracle's database from other computers you must use Oracle8i Standard or Enterprise Edition (not Personal).
Good luck.
