RE: Metalink Response ....FYI

Hi Eric,

The one I know best is a chat site. The application is much more sophisticated than MetaLink. It has seen also seen "unprecedented demand" recently - about 500% growth in the last year. There have been growing pains, mostly caused by Oracle bugs, but they certainly seem to be able to make their Oracle stuff scale much better than MetaLink does. Maybe its because of the performance consultant they use. I understand that Oracle management politely declined an offer of help from the same consultant.

Steve,

Thanks for the very interesting comments. Are those webified apps with similar requirements as metalink?
