Hi Dick,

Can't aswer any of your questions I'm afraid. However, I too am trying to maintain and organise an Oracle database on NT. I believe that OFA is "the" architecture to use. Correct? I have read some papers on the system but all UNIX based. Hass anyone written practical advice for implementing OFA on NT that you know of.

Any help much appreciated.

Hope someone can answer your questions better than me! :)
