Re: Sr. Oracle DBA Needed in Ft. Lauderdale, FL..

IIRC, A full install of Oracle 6.0.x for 386/ix (SCO, Interactive), including all the development tools and Oracle*CASE consisted of around 125 HD 3.5" diskettes. The installation and basic configuration took about 1.5 workdays. I was ecstatic when I got my first QIC-150 tape tape drive, talk about high capacity. Those were the days. Oracle 5 for DOS, including development tools (SQL*Forms 2.3, SQL*Calc, SRW 1.1, and so on...) came on about 30-40 HD 5.25" floppies.
