i am at uni studying computer science and as suh have to program an swl
database, the problem is the mahine that the database has to exist on is
windows 98 so therefore i need a copy of 8i, the problem is that no matter
where i look i cant find a ccopy of it, so i was wondering if there was any
one on here who could send me a copy or could host it on a site so i could
download it or something, as time is running out and i am really desperate.
If I were you I'd use a much lighter db server that will run on 98 and
yet still give you the basics of an RDBMS. I can think of Firebird for
example which will AFAIK run on 98, although it's not recommended for
production environments 8-).
You could also try PostgreSQL which may run on 98.
How much RAM do you have on this 98 machine?
Have you considered installing Linux/FreeBSD?

some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!").
Thanks.
