Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Personal Oracle Capabilities?
David,
Personal Oracle functionality is very compatible (near 100%) to the
other
OS versions. The 'near' part comes ONLY from limiting the number of
connections. It is a very compelling reason to use P.O. to do evals,
proto
types and development.
As far as your VMS based Oracle 7.0, unless there is a compelling
reason,
I'd start looking at upgrading - Oracle 7.3 is far better, feature rich,
etc.
Personal Oracle Lite's claim to fame is a small footprint - it is NOT
the
same as Personal Oracle, it is NOT intended to be the same. POLite is
basically equivalent in power as the MS-Access engine (although Access
has a lot more glitz & glamour stuff - what you buy as Access ain't just
the engine). A lot more info available from www.oracle.com

I'm curious about the suitability of Personal Oracle for doing
off-site
development of a VAX-based Oracle 7.0 program which uses SQL and
also calls to
C programs. How useful is Personal Oracle, anyway? What's the
difference
between PO and the PO Lite version? Oracle claims that Personal
Oracle has
100% the functionality of the product on larger platforms. Is this
true?
