Re: Is anyone running Oracle on Netware?

I work for a company that has many customers running Oracle on Netware and also NT. The majority of problems we find are incorrectly configured backup software (does not seem to matter if it is NT or Netware). You can get an unstable situation in either case. One is not any easier to manage than the other except at least with netware I have rconsole - important when you do remote support over a modem! NT does not have that (cannot run a program on the server from a workstation without purchasing a software package). Jim
