Oracle6 - Memory Problem

Is there a FAQ or FTP site to help with PC memory configuration and Oracle?

We're running Oracle 6 on a Novell Server. Our PC's used to be configured with only himem.sys. Because of other software packages, we now must use emm386. The Oracle Tools installed are the ones that use extended memory.

I changed the machine_type in config.ora to J. I'm able to connect to the database and run SQLPlus, but can't run SQLForms or Reports - get an "out of extended memory" error.

The machines have 16M RAM, 1024 configured as expanded, the rest extended. I tried increasing the expanded, and that didn't help. In config.ora, I tried setting dynamic_memory to the minimum, and also tried setting the real_memory option so that the sqlforms and sqlreports would use conventional memory.

Do I need a different machine type in config.ora? Do I need to reinstall the tools, using the ones in \bin, rather than \pbin? Any other options?

Thanks for any help. - Janet Received on Tue Dec 14 1993 - 20:35:48 CET
