Re: HELP! oracle 8i install questions help! HELP!

You may have to read my e-mail again. I did not state I have oracle loaded. It states that we have a novell network with win98 clients. I dont have it loaded at all and need to know what type of pc to purchase and which operating system to install it on with what the teacher needs to be able to have it web enabled etc.

      Install 8i to teach plsql- I'm not sure what plsql plus is? Isn't it the same as pl/sql. What applications? What applications do I need installed if they run a search to test the application if it works or not meanig pl/sql. Again I am new to this and I don't understand your question. It is all in the 7 questions below.
thanks.
