Which Platform and Version?
Much of this book applies to Oracle8 and Oracle8i (and even Oracle7 in some cases). In general, if you want to use XML outside the database, you can use any Oracle version. However, if you want to use XML features inside the database (and take full advantage of the features I describe here), you must use Oracle8i. Wherever relevant, I note whether a particular XML feature is specific to Oracle8i or can be used with earlier Oracle versions as well.
The examples for this book were developed and tested on a Windows NT 4.0 platform using JDeveloper 3.1 as a development environment and Oracle8i Release 2 Enterprise Edition for NT (version 8.1.6 ) as the database. However, none of the examples, tools, or technologies covered in the book are Windows-specific. The JDeveloper 3.1 product—included on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book—is certified to run on Windows NT and Windows 2000.
