Sadly not good news ...

I am quite surprised that you managed to get Oracle9i database working on the Windows XP Home environment. From what I understand, that is indeed rare. Even Oracle has indicated they will not certify XP Home, just XP Pro and higher.

Your difficulty with iDS stems from the same place - the product is not certified, probably because there are enough changes in the operating system to make it incompatible. (Remember that iDS was released long before XP, and there were no guarantees that Microsoft would stay compatible.)

It's highly recommended that you switch your operating system (or Linux) and upgrade your Oracle software (especially iDS) to something more current. Received on Sat Sep 04 2004 - 21:32:16 CDT
