Re: Oracle 9i Lite - any help please?

Saira,

I've forwarded your message to the CTO of Oracle Lite, my old friend Jacob Christfort, whom I know from our days at the National Hospital Dormitory in Copenhagen, where we had lots of fun, and where many nurses lived. Those were the days, but sadly we both ended up working with IT. If Jacob responds (he's a rather busy guy) I'll forward the responses to the list.

Can I ask you what you think of Lite in general? I don't see many sites using it, but it looks like a cool thing for the right purpose...

Best regards,

Mogens
