RE: Oracle 8.1.7 on MS 2000
Yes. Install 8.1.7, upgrade to 8.1.7.2.1, only then create databases. One of the interim patches between the two levels knocked out SNP processing in existing databases - no job would run. Unfortunately, testing jobs was not a part of the overall QA process so I don't know exactly which patch was bad. Oracle could not fix the problem and after battling it for a week I ended up rebuilding databases. There were other issues, specifically, Netassist wouldn't work with Names Server in 8.1.7.0, it would just crash, as well as some other setback I can't recall. Having said that, the patched up 8.1.7.2.1 on Win2k seems stable and solid. After running it for 6 months we are planning on moving into production shortly. If you're going Windows, this is the way to do it. Gary Weber Senior DBA Charles Jones, LLC||Superior Information Services, LLC 609-530-1144, ext 5529 -Original Message- L.

Re: Oracle 8.1.7 on MS 2000
- Original Message - Any experience with Oracle 8.1.7 on MS2000? works fine for me Marin ...what you brought from your past, is of no use in your present. When you must choose a new path, do not bring old experiences with you. Those who strike out afresh, but who attempt to retain a little of the old life, end up torn apart by their own memories. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Marin Dimitrov INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Oracle 8.1.7 on MS 2000
Yes, under Windows 2000 Server. We installed 8.1.7.0.0, then applied the 8.1.7.2.1 patch, then applied the 8.1.7.2.2 patch, and finally applied the 8.1.7.2.5 patch. Then I built the database and imported our old 8.1.6.0.0 data last weekend. Looks OK so far...less memory leakage...DBMS_Stats works nicely - it was a dog (in my limited trials) on 8.1.6. Our DB is spread across about 340GB of datafiles on 20 disks, so there's a significant amount of data. Jack Jack C. Applewhite Database Administrator/Developer OCP Oracle8 DBA iNetProfit, Inc.
