Re: ORACLE_ON_NT !!!!

Jackson and Don,

    I like Don's idea. I think it is strange though, I only have one more question. How is the database started and stopped? Can you only use svrmgl? I would have to go with Don's idea, if this is a 24/7 database I am afraid it would have to be recycled. I would think that if you went to your boss and explained this horrid situation there would be an understanding. Let me know what happens, I am very interested in this one. Sincerely,
Kev
