Re: See an Oracle server from dual boot?

Thanks, Howard for your comments.

What do you mean that I'll be forever shutting down?

My aim is that, if I've done some development from NT (modifying, creating tables,
adding, removing data etc) to this single, shared database, that when (perhaps days or weeks later), I'm developing in 2000, I can see those changes.

Surely, my described use here, means that I don't need to keep shutting down?
