Re: Oracle 9iAS Portal on 9i Database?

Hi Howard,

I thought he was actually referring to a script provided by the portal install??, so its a bug??

I also found a problem installing 9iAS, i set the size of the SGA to 50M as recommended and the install failed because it tried to verify the SGA size to be greater than 32M, but it checked the absolute figure in bytes and couldn't handle it sized as 50M.

cheers
Pete
