I am convinced that the behavior of Oracle is the good. But in the
life, all is not so beautiful. Sybase was imposed since years by the
customers and our application followed and adapted with its nonsenses.
Now, we want to use both but must have exactly the same results.
By pragmatism, we should not touch existing aplication which satisfies
already our customers. It is necessary to parameterize Oracle of way
similar to Sybase (by spending less because business is business).
Nobody can imagine the complexity of converting sybase to oracle
without practising it. 1000 man-days is nothing compared to the 100
000 tables, views, requests, procedures and triggers !
