Re: Where can I download Personal Oracle 7.3 for Windows NT

Great idea! I will see if I can get hold of some 7 Oracle books!!

Yep, I know that we (our company) should upgrade. However the Accounts Department are quite pleased with the Accounting-Software running on the Oracle 7-server. To be honest, during all these years not even a single data-bit has been corrupted and I think this might be another reason why they would like to stick to the current Oracle-version and its accounting-software. Perhaps the new versions of Oracle (8 and 9) might offer a lot of nice wizards and add-ons for creating reports, web-publishing etc which by itself could be a good reason for updating. However so far I have been able to make these reports and intranet-stuff with Access,Visual Basic,Crystal Reports, Interdev along with some stored procedures for speed.

Anyway all of you who has replied to my enquiry and suggesting "upgrading" has convinced me that "upgrading" should be looked into and valuated and I will do so. Many thanks for your advice.

Rgds,

Mike
