oracle database - trial version

[Former Member]

Hi all, I have downloaded and installed SAP NetWeaver 2004s ABAP Trial Version (incl. Web Dynpro ABAP) in order to exercise myself with this new technology.

In the future I will have to deal with a SAP R/3 4.7 system based on Oracle database.

My question is:

1) if I also install oracle, will I be able to interface it with SAP NW2004s?

Right now I can only deal with MaxDB database which is included in the sneak preview.

My goal is to practice with Oracle database and the BR*Tools, in order to gain some experience with backup and restore/recovery.

Please advise.

Best regards.

how could you? all database objects are within the MaxDB database...the kernel (sap executables) is (partly) database depedent and os on...

but you could install oracle, <b>create a test database</b> and perform some tests with that test db...if it's just for the tools you wouldn't need lots of data to test...

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

You mean that I can work with oracle db only with oracle tools and not from SAP NW.

Is this correct?
