Re: Oracle8i on Windows 95/98???

You cannot run the enterprise edition server on Win95/98. If you have enough hard disk space you can set up an NT partition on your 95/98 machine and run the enetrprise edition server in the NT partition. Figure maybe 600M for Oracle plus whatever you need for your database files. You also want 128MB of RAM.
