I suggest you create a databaselink in your Oracle 8i database that points to the Oracle XE database. Then simply create either views or synomyms to the tables that you want to query and your done.
For sending mail from your database you can use the DBMS_MAIL package.

Hello
I am developing an application using Oraacle XE named-Complaint system
We already have an Oracle 8i as databse for other applications and i would like to use the existing Oracle 8i. I already have some table that i need there. For the moment I have created a materialized view but I would like to save the data in the Orcale 8i databse so that other applications can view the data in real time.

Can you please suggest me how can i do it??

for the same application that i am designing i have to include a function where i have to send some users mail when there is a complaint that has not been solved for a secific date.

How can i automate this part so that the system itself send the mail to notify the users?

if you need more details please email me on: N.Nabeebaccus@happyworldfoods.com

Thanks and Regards

The 4GB data limit appears to be enforced at the datafile level, ie. the total size of all datafiles comprising the database cannot exceed 4GB.
This is easy to test, just try to exceed the 4GB total datafile size for your XE database.
This restriction also applies to SYSTEM, UNDO, SYSAUX tablespaces.
If your total database size is currently 3GB you cannot add or extend any datafiles by more than another 1GB.
Eg.
alter database datafile ‘/usr/lib/oracle/xe/oradata/XE/system.dbf’ resize 5000M
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12952: The request exceeds the maximum allowed database size of 4 GB

@Leonard: You could also check http://www.php.net and search for Oracle (spanish documentation is availlable if I’m correct)

@bertjan / Marco: granting unlimited tablespace to a user doesn’t work either (had to change my default script, which I could have known…)

Leonard, a lot of documentation on PHP and Oracle XE can be found on :

http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25317/toc.htm

but only in English I’m afraid…
