Here's our standalone environment:

OS/2 2.1 running on IBM PS/2's 77 with 400MB disk, 16 MB ram.

We use Oracle7 Database for OS/2 (standalone) with Forms 4.0.12 and SQL*VDM. SQL*VDM allows the CDE tools to operate in windows 3.1 and "talk" to the database running native, as a 32 bit app, within OS/2. The toolset products are hugh...very big indeed. Their power is remarkable though. Once your past the set up and install issues, the environment is quit nice. (Forms has a few chinks in it but it is pretty good.)

Oracle better be committed to these environments or we are out of business. PB Received on Mon Feb 14 1994 - 20:05:49 CET
