The usage would be very low - not nearly like a production system. And it would be tolerable if the performance is sluggish (i.e. swapping).

Anyway, am I right to assume that 8.1.7 works better in such a limited environment than 9.0.1? That it has lower memory needs?

The application suggests the 32bit version of Oracle/HP-UX, but only the 64bit version is downloadable from oracle.com. Any resources I might have overlooked?

Best regards, Bernd.
