Re: No Oracle 8 on SCO Open Server ??

You may talk to your Oracle rep. Oracle has already rolled out ORacle 8 on what they call 'Tier 1' platforms. NT, Solaris...etc are Tier 1. SCO never made
it to any Tier - is what I hear.

Depending upon your number of users, transactions etc. you could probably choose between UNIX versions or NT.
