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.
