Erm, that's the Motorola 68K CPUs.  They are as dead as my beloved Amiga
(well almost: http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/).  As far as Gx Apples,
I've been trying OTN, but all I get is "Error: Timeout occurred while
retrieving page meta data."

And actually, at oracleworld there was a huge booth from Apple showing
Oracle database, 9iAS, and applications running on Oracle.  I've got on my
computer here the developer release of 9i for OS X...haven't installed it
yet as I'm waiting for my new mac laptop.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt,

As far as I'm concerned all that a MAC is good for is as a paper weight.  And 
that's pretty bad since I was an Apple fan for many a year.

There are no downloadable clients.  Only the server v9201, which is all character-mode (yay!)...

Re: Oracle Client for Macintosh

2003-10-03 Thread Steve Finger
You guys should look harder ;-)

If you go to technet download area there is a developer release for 
Oracle for the Mac. After you select it you need to take a survey to get 
to the download area. There you will find the client software for Mac 
OSX.  It's not an easy install but it works. It doesn't come with any 
client side apps. I've been using it for a few months in a test site 
with no problem on Oracle 9i release 2 running on Windows 2000.
