Just to fuel the fire, it seems that just before the cutover date, one of my colleagues decided that Oracle 8 was just too buggy to go into production with on Digital Unix for a Decision Support / Warehouse system for a very large (as in could buy Oracle, Sybase and Informix from petty cash) pension fund. They're rolling back to Oracle 7.3 Also, a new manager there who was recently employed by Oracle said that the main competitor that he saw Oracle losing sales to was (and it has been said here before) IBM. DB2 is still Oracle's biggest competitor in the high end server marketplace. JMHO. Long ORCL (good thing I enjoy roller coasters...) -Michael
