Hello,

I'm not a DBA, I'm a network installer, so my question comes from that perspective....
I'm working with a site which is converting from an AS/400 to an Oracle system. They will be using the Smart Client on their PCs.

How do I determine the amount of network bandwith that will be consumed by Smart Client ? What kinds of data go out over the wire ? Does Smart Client download entire tables to the PC ? (I'm working with a switched ethernet layout with a 100 meg fiber backbone).

Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers to references.
