ORACLE8 Support
The DataServer for ORACLE allows Progress and WebSpeed applications to access ORACLE8. ORACLE8 removes the restrictions of table, index, and column size that made migrating some Progress databases to ORACLE difficult. The DataServer does not support some ORACLE8 features because of their incompatibility with Progress, such as:
You cannot use the DataServer to access tables that include any of the new object data types.
Accessing ORACLE8 is similar to accessing ORACLE7 from the point of view of setting up the DataServer’s components. The same permissions are required on the same system tables. The only difference is that you must specify which version of ORACLE you are pulling schema information from when you create your schema holder or migrate your Progress database to ORACLE. See the "Creating a Schema Holder" section in "Configuring the DataServer," for more information.
