Re: connect to Oracle over the web

You can download from

http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle8i/content.html

( you will need to register with technet, but it is free ) Oracle 7 is not available - it is very out of date... Or you can order a low-cost CD from them =, I think It is the whole product, however, and very big. Or you can order a low-cost CD set from them, I think

The customer could be nice and send you the CD since there is no license issue involved with the client software..
