im not familiar with licensing. however, I got 9i forms and reports to run from home without installing 9iAS at all. All I did was an install of the database in EE(you dont need EE for forms). this installed apache. Installed the developer suite.

started apache
started the oc4j
ran my forms.

Im not using forms and reports in a work environment now, so I did it from home. Looks like oracle is hosing people on licensing. It looks like they have special deals for jdeveloper where you dont have to pay for 9iAS. anyone know about this? Received on Mon Jun 16 2003 - 11:49:00 CDT
