Re: Anyone Using Oracle8 with Novell?

We are presently running 7.0.12 on Novell 4.10 & 4.11 at about 80 installations with few problems. We are getting ready to convert all to 7.3.2.3 on Novell 4.11 We are also loading a new application on an additional 75 installations using same setup. These are small databases 1-2 GB, so can run small servers. Have done all database work, are changing to a full GUI on Win95 & Win NT clients. We have loaded a test system with Novell 5 and Oracle 8. Seems to work Ok, and will probally change over in 1-2 Yrs. If anyone has any known problems, I'd like to know.
