Does anyone have an opinion on the PC version of Oracle? I remember when it first appeared, it was generally regarded as a not really a good product on the PC, and had many facilities omitted.
Our choice for a major new product looks like being between products such as MS Access, Borland Paradox, <x>base, etc ... the usual PC database stuff ... and PC Oracle. This is for a not overly complex data model - say twenty entities, but with a fair bit of sub-typing. The actual data to be stored is not large, and could easily be handled by any of the major PC database products. But for our purposes, an Oracle development on a PC would be very convenient.
How does the PC version of Oracle rate against the equivalent on a Unix box, assuming you have a top end, powerful PC? At least a 386DX with plenty of memory.
Will the PC version of Oracle run under MS Windows?
