Oracle 8.1.6 compatible with Windows 2003 Server?

Is Oracle 8i (8.1.6) compatible with Windows 2003 R2 Server Standard Edition?

Published: 17 May 2006

We are using Oracle 8i Release 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition, and we had installed Oracle 8i Application user in Windows 98 and 2000 clients as well as Oracle 8i Server in Windows 2000 Server Standard Edition. Now we plan to go for Windows 2003 R2 Server Standard Edition. But we are not in a position to go for Oracle 9i or any other late release. Is Oracle 8i (8.1.6) compatible with Windows 2003 R2 Server Standard Edition?

According to Oracle's certification matrix, Oracle 8.1.6 is not certified or supported to run on Windows 2003 R2 Server. Only Oracle release 9.2.0.7, 10.1.0.5 or 10.2.0.2 and above are certified for this operating system.

Can I install Oracle 8i on Windows 2003 Server? I was not able to install Oracle 8i on Windows 2003 Server. Is it compatible with this operating system?

Order of Oracle migration and upgrade I am getting ready to purchase a new server that will have the Windows 2003 OS and will need to migrate our Oracle 8i database as well as upgrage to 10g. Can you recommend which order I should perform the upgrade/migration?

Opening recovered database with UPGRADE option I have a backup of an Oracle 8i database which I needed to restore on Oracle 10g Server. I created a new database on the server, placed all the datafiles and redo logs and then re-created the controlfile and did a recover database using the backup controlfile. When I open the database I get "ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced." I traced the log file and got "ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure" and "ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option." I don't understand why I have to upgrade and how?
