I am planning to acquire either a MacBook or MacAIr but i need to clarify if these 2 notebooks will be able to support VB6 or VB Net and possibly run Oracle DB on it.


Thanks in advance for reading and responding!

Oracle DB ... yes. In fact there are very few platforms that Oracle officially supports for its "full caffiene" products such as 11g DB and SOA. Enterprise Linux (RedHat and SUSE) and Mac are among them. Go to oracle.com, select "downloads" from the top menu an look for the maccompatible version.


MySQL is a different story ... no DMGs there, just a generic ".gz" to download and more complext instructions, but doable (I did it).


You can run Windows-based products such as .Net through BootCamp or VM (virtual machine) software that is hosting Windows 7.
