We have a 386/33 stand-alone PC where we installed Oracle T&DB V6.0 The PC
has 4MB of RAM. After installing, I found out that when I try to run
SQLForms, RUNForms or SQLMenu, I get the error:
execp error 6: out of extended memory
However, when I run SQL*DBA or SQL*Plus, everything is OK. Looking at how
the PC's memory is used, MEM /C shows that all extended memory (approx. 3MB+)
is allocated by SQLPME. The only other thing in extended memory is DOS that
was relocated via DOS=HIGH. This doesn't take much space to seriously affect
SQLPME.
When I looked up the Oracle Tools Installation and User's Guide, the table
of memory requirements showed that SQLForms needed 2800K of RAM, SQLMenu
needed 2300K and RUNForm needed 1200K.
So how come I could not execute RUNForm despite having twice the required
free memory available in extended memory ? My .FRM files are small and simple.
I'm I missing something in the installation ?
