I'm trying to track down the Oracle Irix client, but without any luck. The oracle website only provides downloads going back to 9i and I think 8 was the last supported version for Irix. I believe these were free downloads at the time (like they are now) so I should be OK asking about this on nekochan. If no-one here can help me out, I guess the other option would be to contact oracle and see if they still have the download files available somewhere.

Cheers
Jessica

If I remember correctly, only the Windows, Solaris, and Linux versions of Oracle 8 were available for download...For IRIX, only the documentation was downloadable...

BTW, the final versions of Oracle for IRIX were 8.1.7 for 64 bit systems and 8.0.6 for 32 bit systems.

Thats right. SGI ships also for a short periode of time the o200 with a ORACLE DB but there was never something for 'free' download. We emigrate years ago from IRIX to NOVELL with our Oracle databases and 1 year later Oracle drops also this plattform. Now we have to use MSSQL and for the all web based stuff MySQL.

With some patches you will get 8.1.7.4.

In general, legitimate downloads that you come across, such as the one for Equinox 3D, are fine. Pirate Bay downloads are not. If Sun put this up on some server by accident somewhere, then let's all go grab it

Otherwise ....

As you asked for client, you should be able to find an Oracle JDBC driver which works with Java 1.4, for example

This does require a license agreement.
