Re: Oracle 8 Personal Edition

Mike - thanks, but I beg to differ. There is a listener on the NT install that I have. I know because I have to restart the service manually sometimes. It is there for remote connections and administration purpose only as the manual states. For my use, it works well since I need to just test some insert statements from a java application. I am logging in as sys. That is, the java thin client does communicate with the instance fine, locally or remotely under NT.

It's strange that I can run both "SQL Plus" and the "JDBC thin client" against Oracle 8 Personal Edition on a Windows NT box. Even from my 98 box (remote). Now I know that 98 is a different OS than NT, but I would expect the same level of functionality to exists on both. Guess not. Anyway, what I really want is "remote" (read TCP/IP) access from the same box that the instance is running on, i.e Windows 98. My new laptop has 98, and I have an instance running, and can get to it with local protocols. Since the JBDC driver is remote by design. I'd need O8 PE to respond to a "remote" connection that is pointed at 127.0.0.1 kind of thing.

Let me know what you think.
