Re: Beginner over his head!

Maybe the easiest way would be.

1. Install the oracle software on the NT server.
2. use the Database Assistant to create the database.
3. Run Export on your Win95 machine and export the tables.
4. Run import and import the data to your server.

 Not the best performance wose for NT but it'll work.  See the Oracle documentation on oracle on creating databases.  And import and export.

You need to know a bit about where your data is on oracle ext.
