[Quoted] [Quoted] I was recently asked to resurrect an Oracle project shelved several years ago. I know almost nothing about Oracle. So, I barely know where to start.

There is a windows application that connects to an Oracle server via the Internet, and I was told that the "oracle code was developed against Oracle 8 and makes use of their web portal stuff" and it uses PL/SQL. The oracle code consists of a bunch of .sql and .psp files. I was told that if I loaded the oracle code into oracle, it should work.

I started by downloading Oracle9i Database and installing it on XP Pro. But, now I think I need the Application Server.

Do I need the Application Server?
Do I need the Database?
How do I get the code into Oracle?
Will there be a problem with using code for Oracle 8 with a newer version?

Would there be any difference/problem using Linux or Solaris instead of XP Pro if the code was originally developed under Windows?

[Quoted] Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Received on Sun Mar 20 2005 - 23:33:14 CET
