differences => not much...have a look at the respective installation guide

<b>no, you cannot install oracle 8i on windows 2003 server => it is not supported!</b>

best db? that depends on your needs...oracle is the one that's most used worldwide...maxdb might be the one with minimized administration effort...

i'd rather <b>go for sapdb</b>...it has much less administration activities compared to oracle...the installation of the database will be included in the sap installation (oracle must be installed before you start with sap)...sapdb has a nice graphical database admin tool ggg ...

-> on 32bit win 2000 and win 2003 (sapdb 7.5 and 7.6) are supported

-> if you go for 64bit ONLY win 2003 (sapdb 7.5 and 7.6) is supported!!!
