The same way the Larry and the crew at Oracle feeds theirs. The Oracle software available at otn.oracle.com for download is not crippled in any way. If Oracle can do it I should think IBM could too if it wasn't taking its customers for granted. > The free basic engine is the bait....so bite.

>The Oracle software available at otn.oracle.com for download is not crippled in any way. Other than the normal ways oracle is crippled. But seriously, I did not know Oracle was doing that...interesting. I thought it was just the Express engine Oracle put out for free (which is fun, I hate to admit). Thanks Mr. Morgan ;)
