The first configuration is the platform from which you will manage Oracle installations across various machines on various operating systems. Most system and database administrators are given a desktop PC to perform day-to-day tasks that are not DBA specific (such as reading e-mail). From this desktop, you can also manage Oracle components installed on other operating systems (for example, Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX). Even so, you will want to configure Windows 2000 to make your system and database administrative tasks quick and easy. The Oracle client software configuration is used in more configurations than you might first suspect: ■ Web applications that connect to an Oracle database: ■ IIS 5 ASPs that use ADO to connect to an Oracle database ■ Perl DBI application running on Apache that connects to an Oracle database ■ Any J2EE application server that uses the thick JDBC driver ■ Client/server applications: ■ Desktop Visual Basic application that uses OLEDB or ODBC to connect to an Oracle Database ■ Desktop Java application that uses the thick JDBC to connect to Oracle In any of these configurations, at least an Oracle client installation is required.

  • Microsoft Windows NT from a UNIX Point of View 1
    Microsoft ® Windows NT™ from a Unix ® Point of View A White Paper from the Business Systems Technology Series Microsoft Windows NT ™ from a Unix ® Point of View A White Paper from the Business Systems Technology Series Abstract This paper provides a technical overview of Windows NT for the information technology (IT) professional with a strong background in Unix. It approaches the subject from the Unix point of view and relates the concepts of Windows NT to corresponding ones found in Unix. It begins with a technical comparison of the two operating systems, moves on to cover how the two can coexist in a heterogeneous environment, and finishes with a brief section describing some of the tools available to aid developers in creating applications for both platforms. About the Microsoft Business Systems Technology Series The Microsoft® Business Systems Technology Series consists of a number of interrelated white papers dedicated to educating information technology (IT) professionals about Windows NT and the Microsoft BackOffice™ family of products. While current technologies used in Microsoft products are often covered, the real purpose of this series is to give the reader an idea of how major technologies are evolving, how Microsoft is using those technologies, and what this means to IT planners. Legal Notice The descriptions of other companies’ products in this paper are provided only as a convenience to the reader. Microsoft cannot guarantee their accuracy, and the products may change over time. Also, the descriptions are intended as brief highlights to aid understanding, rather than as thorough coverage. For authoritative descriptions of these products, please consult their respective manufacturers.
