We are considering licensing Oracle8ise (the standard edition, not Oracle8iee) for a limited database application.

We are not familiar with running a database manager while maintaining the database on an NFS server, but gather that quite a number of people that subscribe to toasters are using Oracle with NetApp servers.

Should we anticipate any problems with this edition of Oracle running on a Sun Solaris system while the data is stored on an F740 running 5.3.4R2?

Thanks.
