He (Ray Lane) means that client/server is dead, and that all of Oracle's products are set to enable and support internet computing. Their server software will still run on whatever platform you want, PC, mainframe or anything in between. The way you access that data will be through the net, inter- or intra-. Oracle's applications software accesses the database using a Java compatible browser. Their Oracle Developer tools and servers can still generate client/server apps but that same application runs on an application server, accessed with a browser as a thin-client. Their Oracle Designer CASE software generates web enabled Developer apps or HTML code. As he put it to the New York Oracle Users Group this past Wednesday, it was never about $500 NC hardware, it was always about NCA (Network Computing Architecture), now called "Internet Computing". Oracle's product line is set to support this architecture across the board. This is what he means by 100% internet. -Michael
