From Client/Server to Web
Hello,
I am currently running an Oracle 8.0.5 Database about 1.2 GigaBytes in size on a Novell 5.1 server.
1) I want to migrate to a Linux Red Hat 8 Server (I know that I have to upgrade to Linus Red Hat Enterprise 3 (ES)) No questions about that.
2) I want to upgrade from a 8.0.5 Database to a 9i database. I have heard there are 3 possible ways of doing this: directly by import/export, going to 8.0.6 then 9i or going to 8i and then 9i. What do you think is best ? and why ?
3) I want to go from a Client/Server architecture with about 8 clients to a Web architecture. I have heard that I would need to purchase iAS (Internet Application Server) in order to manage multiple Forms/Reports request at the same time. What can iAS do that I cannot do with Oracle 8i, Oracle 9i ?
-----
Also, my current Oracle Forms/Reports application uses Parameter Forms and is based on the RUN_PRODUCT builds. Going to 9i with iAS, what kind of modifications should I expect to do to my Oracle Forms/Reports to goto a Web based application ? I have heard that I might have to modify some Report Triggers ?
My Oracle Forms/Reports is developped in Oracle Forms/Reports 6i. Would I need to rewrite my application for Oracle 9i ?
Your feedback is appreciated,
Regards,
PT

Since you're switching platforms, you basically have two options:
1. exp/imp
2. copy data from machine to machine (sqlplus copy, dblinks, etc.)
Personally, I would setup 10g on my Linux box and setup the tablespaces and users like I want. I would then use exp/imp because it's a very small database.

You certainly believe a lot that you hear (I assume from an Oracle Sales weenie). Personally, I would rather understand why each piece might be needed and decide if I need it or not.
I need answers !!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I believe what the technical documents and such tell me.
This is all new stuff to me.
What is your point of view about iAS ? and how I might have to modify my existing Oracle Forms/Reports 6i application ?
That is very important to me !!!!!!!

I don't use it. But I don't use Forms/Reports.
