Hello, World
Is there anyone running Oracle's front ends on IBM Power PC's under windows NT? I have tried to do this, but the installer falls over with an "Invalid instruction" message.
Perhaps I am trying to install the wrong software. I was told there is no specific front end for NT (Forms, SQL*Plus, etc), and that I must use the products for windows. This seems a bit of a problem. (Is this correct?)
We are currently evaluating new hardware for our front end users and
developers, and the options we are considering include:
IBM Power PC running Windows NT,
IBM Power PC running AIX,
HP9000/712 runninh HPUX,
INTEL based Pentium running windows NT.
If anyone has any good, bad, or ugly stories to tell, please tell me, we have to reace a decision quite quickly. (Personally I like the HPUX route, but there seems to ba a lack of office automation products to compliment it :-( )
Please e-mail any thoughts you may have.
