NW supports databases just great? Dear Eric, The Departments I mentioned are all using their own databases. And like Joe says, they are Foxpro, Paradox, Access etc. Is it your advise that they should scrap their databases and go to a central client/server db using Oracle, something which NW supports? Politically you can imagine what thats like. Taking an intranet approach, Salah put up a link to an article by Jason Levitt in Information Week (Nov. 4, 1996) titled Novell Still Keeps Em Waiting. In that article he implies you will have to wait for Web Server V3 to have the JAva tools needed to hook the server into databases. I think Joe said that a major weakness in Novells NOS was the lack of open db connectivity. Also with various versions of the Novell NOS in various Departments isn't it necessary to standardize on one version to make anything work. Please comment. I bring up this example (readers see 4556,4561,4562 and my original post) because I think the NOS 3.X upgrade problem for Novell revolves around solving these problems in an Intranetware context.
