I have to agree with Michael, Oracle occasionally releases premature products, some of these are shipping now. Sure in a future release everything will be cleaned up, but for now, our programmers consider them 'buggy'.

We're using Oracle on an NT platform to develop webapps and we're having a tough time in general with remote connectivity issues. I won't bore you with the gory details but just as an example, using Oracle utilities sql*loader from a win95 client to the NT server (about 2M rows every hour), *major* problems, it appears that the architecture of the user stack clobbers the 32meg on the client. Running sqlloader on the NT server (256meg) works fine. I don't know whether this is an architecture flaw, or a bug. Also there is a product called Oracle Enterprise Manager which is full of bugs on NT.

BTW, this is all going on at a key Oracle partner acct (some new designation Oracle has) and Oracle corp has acknowledged the problems with some of these tools. They obviously rushed some of this NT stuff to market.
