this is all from memory, so part of it may be off a bit.

^^^^ ^^will work but you'll soon be after a dx

if i recall correctly, forms uses the largest amount ~2.5 mb + ~1.8mb for
the database + whatever you've added to the sga.

if you mean to run locally then see above, if you mean to run against
a remote datbase then subtract the rdbms and sga values and add in
~150k for sql*net (this i can't quite remember but sounds about
right) + whatever your network driver takes us. ~120-150k.

once again from memory, ~25+-2mb, be sure that this subsystem is fast.

depends on what your used to, this is always a subjective topic.
if i'm on an at for a while its one thing. if i'm by my lonesome
on a server its another. but heres a suggestion (assuming a moderate?
level of development and data (growth):
386dx-40
8+mb
200mb <18ms hard disk
cacheing controller w/2mb of cache
some type of intellegent video (not that you need it but you don't
want to spend cp cycles drawing the screen when they could be used
to process your requests)
>Thanks in advance.
why? this is only as good as my memory, and thats been proven to
have some pretty bad days. :-)
