What we do

We support SQL Server 2000 (SQL2000), SQL Server 2005 (SQL2005) and Oracle databases.

SQL2000 and SQL2005 database support is available to faculty, staff and official Business School groups.  A request can be made for database by filling out this form: DB User Request Link

Special projects are occasionally supported on a one-on-one basis on machines suited to this sort of activity.

Oracle database support is limited to teaching purposes only.  Access to these databases is done by taking a class that teaches database basics and concepts using these machines.
