RE: backspace in Oracle.

I am all for NLMs, DLMs, and M&M.

But, if you let me bounce most any NT box once a month for, say, a DEFRAG, I'll be able to keep it up for one helluva long
time too.

|| Netware 3.12 (or 3.2, which is basically 3.12 with Y2K patches) is
|| amazingly robust/stable. We still have one running a ("unsupported")
|| legacy Oracle 7.3 app with 66mhz 486/DOS clients w/ 8Mb RAM!!!
|| (SQL*Net v2 lite).
||
|| Only reason for "downtime" is running VREPAIR (rough equivalent of
|| "scandisk") about once every other month, and also when the startup
|| files need maintenance (usually related to changed parameters on
|| .nlms loaded, versoin upgrades, etc) and a bounce is required. also
|| we recently had to put in a new UPS battery, which required a down.
||
|| It is amazing how good (well engineered) "no frills"
|| software can be.
|| unfortunately the ".NLM" ended up being sort of the "Pinto" of the
|| NOS industry. the fall of Novell is one of the great sad stories of
|| the industry. corruption of marketing mentality.
