Oracle 9i Makes it to Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the i-knew-the-day-would-come-like-a-hellfire-upon-the-lands dept.

mcockerill writes "Oracle just posted a development version of their latest RDBMS (Oracle 9i release 2) for Mac OS X (300+megs of it). It requires Jaguar to run. No fancy installation wizards or GUI config apps as yet; the whole thing is command line only for now. But still, this is a major development as far as serious use of Mac OS X in a server environment is concerned. It's long been rumored to be on the way -- after all, Ellison is on Apple's Board -- but frankly I never thought I'd see the day."

    What a coincidence... your mom acts a lot like a shopping cart. She is always filling up with food and can't move around without the help of others. Also some people like to ride her in the parking lot (among other places) for fun.

    Small world huh?
