    Hi all,

    I am going to be developing a little app which works with an Oracle 8i db
    and will be java desktop application running on Windows 2000. Previously I
    had been developing using Oracle 9i and .NET (ODP.NET). So I would like your
    advice on how to get started. I would appreciate your assistance with the
    following questions:

    1) I guess I need to download the Oracle 8i JDBC drivers from Oracle.com and
    this will then allow me to use the java.sql API. Is this correct ?

    2) If I wanted to deploy the application what whould the host environment
    require ? Is it a case of JRE/the application/ JDBC driver. Can anyone
    recommend a way of neatly packaging this up?

    3) If most of my work will require the generation of exception reports (most
    of the data for this will be on the DB) should I use pl/sql procedures or
    Java Stored procedures. Actually, I would like to clarify my understanding
    of these. Are you effectively creating compiled java code and loading it
    into the DB for later use?

    Many Thanks,

    -A
