Hi,
1. Yes, all our products have been tested with Oracle 8i. They have not been nearly as extensively tested as MySQL or MS SQL, but you shouldn't have any problems.
2. What do you mean by "spanned across several servers"? Do you mean build the html pages across different servers? If you use nfs this can be done. You could also install multiple copies (would need multiple licenses). There are also lots of load balancing solutions as well that we could look at. Not sure what you are trying to do.
3. Yes, that wouldn't be a difficult change.
4. The main thing, don't use Oracle unless you have an experienced Oracale database administrator available. It's not trivial to setup, tune, or maintain.
Cheers,
Alex
