Re: Need help with Oracle for Netware - Multiple Instances on the same box

hi,
the problem was with older versions, since the poster did not state what he was using.

there are several issues,

1. oracle appear to be de-supporting all 8/8I versions of the oracle ( thanks oracle, just as I convinced management to forkout big $$$ for your software)
2. There is something about de-support on netware for all current+future versions floating about on their website.
3. all novell software tracks have disappeared. ( $200 for a cd for development)
4. I've been using oracle on netware and find it a sloppy/buggy implementation. 8 thru 8.1.5.0.4.

I also want to drop the novell, but cannot convince management to pay for a 'REAL' server, so opted for linux, which would be a re-format and re-install of a current novell 4.2 2 licence server.
