Oracle 8 For Windows Xp
Have you tried running your XP software in a VM under windows 10? Oracle's VirtualBox or VMWare's virtual manager for PCs can be obtained for free. It would allow you both hardware and OS independence. In many cases functionality that was in older operating systems is no longer available. This also allows you to snapshot the virtual-computer for backups.I've found using GHOST by Symantec and creating a 'copy' of a system into a windows virtual disk (VHD) file works perfectly under Oracle's free VirtualBox (OVB).

You can then run that image under OVB on mac, linux, windows perfectly (I'm currently doing it on several systems).
Oracle For Windows 10
Oracle 8 software usually won't install on Windows XP machines. Itwon't work with Pentium 4 or higher. You're better off using 9isoftware.
It connects to 8i databases. 10g client software (at leastthe last time I tried) won't connect to an 8i database.JeremyFrom: Choudhury9 via oracle-db-installs-lmailto:oracle-db-installs-l@Groups.ITtoolbox.comSent: Wednesday, February 13, 2008 11:42 AMTo: Jeremy SheehanSubject: oracle-db-installs-l Oracle 8 Client software for windows XPprofessionalPosted byChoudhury9on 11:43:00 AMHi AllCan anyone please tell me where can i download Oracle 8 Client softwarefor windows XP professional.Thanks. Okay, I agree, 8i is old, so I am going from old memories.The Oracle 8i client would not install on a P4 as deliverd or downloaded. There was a specific DLL that conflicted with another product using the same DLL name (I think it was a Semantic product.) There was a Metalink article on which file to replace.

I did this a long time ago and created a client disk for 8i with the P4 fix. If you are really stuck, let me know and I will see if I can find it and get the files to you. (sometimes is pays to be a pack-rat.:-) ). I would really recommend using the 9i client.
I have had no problems with it for versions 8, 9 and 10. I think it was a file called 'symcjit.dll' or something like that. You merely had to copy the CD to hard disk, rename the file to anything bit its name, and the install would carry on OK.You can connect to 8i databases using 9i client, but you cannot connect to v7 database using 9i. We still have (unbelievably) v7 database running core systems, so we need 8i not 9i clients occasionally. If you didn't previously download and store the 8i client from Oracle now, then you need to go and ask your local Oracle peers if they have any 8i CD hidden in their desk at work.Of course, if you are licensed, you should be able to twist the arm of your local Oracle salesperson to get the disks.Oracle 9i will soon fall off support, so download and copy to CD/DVD as much as you can of that software now before its too late.
