I don't use Oracle for all database apps. There are appropriate places for shareware databases, appropriate places for SQL Server, for DB/2, for Teradata, and others. But that was not the point of the original posting to which I took offense.

And which part of the fact that this was posted in usenet groups named comp.databases.oracle did someone miss? If you pour out gasoline and start creating sparks ... don't complain when you start a fire.

I think we have wasted enough electrons on this. Agreed?
