Unlike Informix Tech support at Oracle can tell you pretty close to what resources you will need and how to tune your box. All Inofrmix can tell you is to through more memory in the box. FrontPage 98 comes with hooks for Oracle and dose not even mention Informix. Oracle ODBC drivers work and are comptible with other applications. Informix ODBC drivers are terrible (see other posted ODBC messages for more details) Kevin
