But for your invitation it didn't look like a rejoinder was worthwhile. I'm not personally familiar with the situation alledged in the original post so I will neither confirm nor deny it. However, I believe the followup which extrapolated this to suggest we were quoting news posts in advertising is incorrect. At least I have never seen or heard of such a thing. In any case, I'm not sure I understand all the fuss. The newsgroups are public forums. Those of you who think for one minute that personnel from Informix, IBM, Sybase, and other companies aren't monitoring c.d.oracle and using negative info gained thereby might be a bit naive. /b -- Bill Manry - Mainframe and Integration Technologies - Oracle Corporation Standard disclaimer applies.
