I would then suggest the 8.05 version which has a host of features
unavailable in the 7 versions, which facilitate a lot of things. Under
correction I believe Oracle 7 does not have the nifty Recovery manager
which makes backup and recovery tasks much easier and user friendly, as
well as things like Objects and table partitioning.
