John, The short version of my resume is that I've been developing Oracle based apps since '85. I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you, but the first release of CDE (before marketing renamed it D2K; I still have my invitation to the rollout of Oracle V.7 also pre-marketing genius O7) was buggy, especially on Macintosh. To combine replys, a reply to my original post suggested that I should be concerned with 8.0 as the current "buggy" server version, not 7.3 or 7.4. The only shops that I know who are willing to bet the ranch on 8.0 are beta sites who get extensive support from Oracle. Everyone else is waiting for 8.0.4 or 8.1. Hey, pretty much the entire pharmaceutical industry (big Oracle shops, real big Oracle shops) is finally moving to O7. Hoffmann-LaRoche just went to 7.1 for many of their production applications. From a technical perspective, I'm more concerned with the stability of the products that people are currently using, not what marketing is pushing. For the people looking for biographical information about Larry Ellison, try the book "The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison". I'm about halfway through it. I find it interesting reading about what was going on inside Oracle while I was working away outside. -Michael
