I never once said IDS was equivalent to Oracle SE: Not EE. I asked a question that so far not one of you has had the ability to answer. Try to the Carl Rove method if you like but the question still stands. And so far the one or two things you have pointed two could just as easily be responded two with one or two things Oracle SE does that IDS can't even dream of doing such as RAC. So ... either answer the question directly or acknowledge that you can't ... or won't. Again: Is there a feature comparison chart published anywhere? -- Daniel A.
