I had a problem. Trying to drop a column from a Oracle 8i Table (personal edition on a w2kPro) i got the following message (or similar) " you can't drop a table with 8.0.5 compatibility, you need at least 8.1.0. ! Ok, i changed compatibiliy parameter from 8.0.5 to 8.1.0 (using dba studio) and all seems to be right. The first time i've restarted the dba machine Oracle did not come up any more (the db was mounted but not opened). Other way i cant go back to 8.0.5 compatibility because the dropped column ! what can i do ? Any help will be appreciated.
