Oh, they took that away from Sun? Hmm, looks like they should move that Oracle stuff to SQL. Thanks.

Charles, I remember you being involved in a discussion where this was covered. Have you forgotten so quickly that IIS on NT has yet to be the cause for E-Bay's problems? In past cases when E-Bay went down, it was Sun's database server that crashed, not Oracle's software and not the cluster of IIS servers that handle the frontend. It's extremely hard to bring down a cluster like the one they've got with IIS, which is why they configured it that way. Evidently, not so hard to totally crash their Sun backend time and again. With Datacenter, customers will soon recognize that they have more reliable high-end options. Mike
