Dear Sir,
I can tell you that ORACLE 7 runs with WARP as well al with OS/2 2.x
I run the DB-engine under WARP and the CDE-tools (esp FORMS 4 and SQL*plus)
in Win-OS/2-windows (on the same PC with only 16 MB RAM).
You just have to look that there all the necessary drivers for the
communication between the processes run properly ( these are the very
same as in the prior OS/2-version).
To migrate just make backup copies from the *ini - files and from the autoexec.bat. After having installed (or, maybe, better: updated OS/2) you should be aware that the drivers needed are started automatically (otherwise you must do it manually), first start the DB-engine (SQL*DBA, then the Oracle-Listener, then Windows or a DOS-Session with the shadow-process and Netinit7 and at last the tool.
If the tool cannot connect to the DB, close the shadow-process and
re-start it under OS/2.
Connecting from FORMS 4 I sometimes got an error msg from Netinit; but
when I re-connected it worked.
It depends on your PC wether this configuration will work quickly
(recommended: 32 MB RAM and a quick 486 or Pention)
