Thanks Bob,

>Sorry to hear you have to work with Oracle.

That bad, huh? I just downloaded the Oracle 8i Personal Server to hopefully get some experience.

I look at it as necessary growing pains, though. For better or for worse, my clients seem to be demanding it. Hard to convince them not to use the system they just spent who knows how many millions on! And you gotta credit Oracle for their branding, if not their product!
