Ora8i and Win 2K - what's the problem?

[JMac]

Been reading some stuff on here ... what's all this talk of Windows 2000 and Oracle? What's the problem? We run NT4 but the network people are talking of 'upgrading' to Windows 2K later this year. Should I be concerned?

AFAIK Oracle 8.1.6 is certified on Win 2K platform so there shouldnt be any problems

We're running 8.1.5 - is there a problem with that version?

Only 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 are certified with W2K. You may want to upgrade...

Oracle 8.1.5 will setup on Windows 2000 BUT you will encounter weired behavior from it like a sudden hangups from SQL+ SO I recommend 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 , Both of them work very very smooth on Windows 2000 .

You need to have ( if running the database only with no application server for instance on the server ) 256 M ram + 1 G of NTFS hard disk space for Oracle itself full featured installation.

I am recommending 8.1.7 over 8.1.6 because it has Apache webserver built it thus makes you able to run Enterprise manager and SQL + from any machine on the network via Browser softwrare

I had installed several times Oracle on Win2000 and it is running into quite a few problems as mentioned in the threads below.

Its very cool on winNT.

I think this was due to oracle what i had was for WinNT second win2000 is coming up with lots of patches which has to be applied till current date.
