[comp.databases] Oracle SCO Unix Configuration Questions

mc@eastbf (Marc Chernoff) (06/22/91)

I have some configuration questions about installing Oracle on a 
network.  We currently have a Novell Netware 386 Version 3.11 running
in the office.  All of the PC's in the office have Cabletron Series 2000
ethernet boards.  These are supposed to be compatible with TCP/IP.


We would like to convert one of the PC's to a SCO Unix server running
Oracle for SCO Unix.  

We also have ordered the MSDOS standalone Oracle 6.0.

Questions:

1.  Can we use the application tools on the Standalone MSDOS Oracle to
    communicate with the Unix Server or is there a difference between the
    Application Tools for MSDOS and the MSDOS Client Application Tools
    that Oracle markets separately.

2.  Do we need any sort of software running on the PC in addition to the
    SQL*NET that comes with the Oracle Server package.  (I know the 
    Netware Server requires IPX on the client side).

3.  Does anyone have experience with the Cabletron Series 2000 Network cars.
    Will they handle Netware and TCP/IP simultaneously?


Thank you in advance for your help.  Please either respond by posting to 
this group or sending me e-mail.  Thanks again.
