version for the database

Hi,
Is anybody know what is the minimum version of Oracle database version to install Oracle 9i AS? What will happen if the database version not fulfill ? I heard that, the minimum required to install is 8.1.6.1.1 and 8.1.6.1.3 , is it true ?

Thanks

We are using 8.1.6 Enterprise and did not even worry about the patch levels. It seems to work fine.

If you are running Portal, the minimum is 8.1.6.2 EE.
Portal will run with SEdition with 8.1.7

Hi,
Is it true in order to run the Portal I need that version of Database - 8.1.6.2.EE ? Is it mean that my current version (8.1.6.1.4) cannot run the Portal ? Can u tell me where u get this info ? Any web site ?

You need 8.1.6 of EE.
8.1.6.2 fixes a bug which is required for Portal/http stuff.
The bug is regards to utl_http and pieces package.

I would recommend the 8.1.6.2 patch if you encounter problems.

This info. is in the portal release notes..
Cheers.
