Workgroup or Domain

Hi...I am setting up a very small office network that only consists of a
Windows 2003 Server box and an XP box (application development PC).

I am going to be running an Oracle database and AccPac on the server
that will need to be accessed from the XP development box which will be
running PowerBuilder. Security is not a big issue although the client
(XP) box will be connected to the internet via cable all the time.

My question is:

Should I set up the network as a "workgroup" or as a "domain" based
network. Will Oracle server even work in a workgroup enviornment?

Thanks in advance,

Howard

If you will be developing anything that will require that you test domain
level permisions/security then obviously the domain is the way to go.
Otherwise I would just use a workgroup and create an acount on both machines
with the same username and password so you don't get prompted if you need to
get to resources to and from either machines.
