Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Oracle 8.1.7 Windows 2000 Install does Not Work
Great, another reason to use SQL on NT and not Oracle...I've have nothing but problems with this Java stuff running myself on NT/2K boxes, and workstation, like the Enterprise manager and other Java. It's slow, and clunky at best, Java is pretty week and not very robust...I guess you need to learn to use that sqlplus prompt proficiently to use Oracle.
Good luck
