(At least Mark T's comments are germane and on topic.) To answer your question, didn't you know that the IIUG was a marketing arm for IBM? ;-) As to my comments, one would hope that Ambush et al would take the time to consider what I've said and think things through. But since you've ask, one has to ask you why you're here since you've always maintained your allegiance to Oracle. What's the matter, the guys on the Oracle board asked you to leave? :-P -G
