I am going to start some experiments soon but any prior input from the field will be helpful.

In order to set up a test 9i RDBMS/9i ifs/ 9iAS environment on Solaris Sparc hardware, how much RAM is the minimum required? Oracle docs apparently suggest 1 GB. I suspect Java will be the killer here, but if I've got a pretty small DB RAM footprint, can I get away with 512 MB? Can I make an Oracle 9i RDBMS with a small RAM footprint?

In production, we'll have lots more RAM (and split the load across multiple servers) - this is just for some functionality tests, but portability is one of the requirements.

The reason this is an issue is because there is some interest in throwing this thing on a laptop, and I'd rather put it on a Sparc laptop than have to go through a crash course in Solaris for intel, Linux, or Windows management.

Thanks for any advice.
