At this point in time our platforms are going to be Windows 98/2000/NT with a Netware backbone but I could care less about the users at this point. I just simply need to know how to get past the user login to start altering the local database in this 9i install I've just done. Our company's a private contractor working for a large city government with strict development guidelines. I'm going to be programming in VB which I've played with and enjoy but if I want my data in a true RDMS we have to use Oracle. All I need for now is to provide a standalone test enviroment on my development computer to simulate that RDMS system I'll have to migrate to in the future. I thought this 9i installation would provide that but there might be a much simpler approach. Man, I hope so.
