Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: NT and Win 2000 Vs Oracle 8i Enterprise Installation
If I recall correctly (and I think I do), 8.1.6 was the *first* version of
Oracle that was certified on W2K.
So you'll be fine, and have nothing to worry about (except for the fact that you're working with a de-supported version of Oracle in the first place, and missing out on some very juicy new features in 8.1.7 and (especially) 9i.
Also from memory, I think you are supposed to make sure that you are on version 8.1.6.3 for W2K -though when the occasion demands, I happily run on 8.1.6.0 with no apparent problems.
