He already has - he pointed you to a very good web site that contains an excellent document on installation. You, apparently in your hurry to abbreviate everything, seem to have bypassed that advice.

Yes - 9i advice IS relevant to 8i. You just need to be smart and read the documentation as well.

Really?

You deliberately want to go into production with new code based on something that will be formally obsolete within 9 months?

Is there a particularily good reason you can't use 9i and set the 'Compatibility' parameter?

Who made such a decision? Someone "informed", or possibly someone being 'politically astute'? Or is the organization just looking for an excuse to use unsupported software?
