Re: Database & Oracle Reports 10g - passing large param lists

Oracle has a new product named: TenTimes. It is in memory database that can be up to 2GB in windows, I think it can use whatever memory you have in Unix. It runs on the application server and have good response time.

Check it or another flavor of in memory database that Forms support.
