>>Specifically, what Oracle products are you having problems with? The >>database (7.3) is incredibly solid and Developer 2000 (at least >> client/server wise) is finally starting to shine. But the current version DBMS is 8.0 (not 7.3), and that has been GA for 6 months. Or has Oracle started barrowing from the Informix vocabulary book that they used with their IUS? The rumors are starting to flow that 8.0 is less stable than desired, and apparently these are slowing the flow of Oracle customers to what must be their DBMS of the future.

Michael, I am a Senior Applications Developer with about 7 years of PL/SQL, Forms, Reports, CASE, DES2k, DEV2K experience. Mr. Kearney doesn't have a clue. I have to admit 3 years ago Forms 4.0 and Reports 2.0 were weak, not buggy, but those are long gone and we have the 32 bit DEV2K tools. I want to see the resume of anyone making claims that any Oracle tools are buggy. You have to earn the right to make a statement like this. JCS p.s. If you own ORCL stock and don't REALLY know what Oracle does, sleep well you have nothing to worry about.
