RE: Oracle

I've chatted to a couple of people recently who have / are using Oracle, and were told Online problems are a problem - is this true, or are they just not configuring it properly ? Was also told the old versions, like 8 of Oracle could not do online backups - but don't know where they are with this now. I guess I will find out soon - with us migrating to Oracle. My apologies for sending it to this group - will take the discussion offline or somewhere else as suggested.

If they can't do it using RMAN from version 9i and on then perhaps they should be reclassified as a vegetable. But why is this stuff in an Informix group? Shouldn't it be in c.d.o.? -- Daniel A.
