What happened to the Prophet Oracle server?

Prophet was running a version of Oracle 8i that was full of bugs. This was found to be a desupported version of the database due to the large number of bugs in it. To facilitate access to this resource (Oracle) for class work, a new machine was built to replace Prophet. The new machine is Prophet2.mccombs.utexas.edu and can be reached through the lab at Prophet2.world. All of the labs have been updated with the configuration information that makes this connectivity possible. If you have SQL*Plus on your own machine you will need to replace the TNSNAMES.ORA file with this one. This file goes in :\ORANT\NET80\ADMIN.
