Apologies, not trying to offend anyone here. We are still on version 9i of Oracle (busy migrating to it), and so far Oracle involves a lot more maintenance than my Informix systems. Probably just a lack of setting it up 100%. In my environment, I can use all the time I can save. It just feels that Oracle is more flexible when it comes to tuning, but that also means more planning and more work, which I don't have. sending to informix-list
