From <http://www.exchange2000.com/~wsapi/investor/reply-5745120>: Oracle8i has a built from scratch JVM and Java compiler in the DB. They have really efficient garbage collection and requires 50K-100K of memory per user. He wants to get that down to <50K. Says O8i can support 10,000 users per server. O8i includes iFS, the internet file system. You drag and drop a windows file and it gets stored and indexed in the database. Same thing for IMAP4 e-mail. They have filters to read windows file formats and render the text in XML or HTML. You can also invoke the app that created the file and feed it the datastream from the database. They demoed this and it looked pretty cool. The demo app did crash and an IE4 splash screen showed up when it restarted (on an iMac). Larry exclaimed "what was that!?" Some of the problems with the demo were staged to show how you can just go in and make a fix and keep on working. There was not a whole lot of info to be gleaned from the demo, but it was fairly slick. Good ol Larry.
