Robert,

NOT. I have used Oracle on Netware on four occassions. In each case, performance was a problem (especially where the db server was the file/print server as well). In one case, we switched our dual pentium 90 with 80 megs ram from netware to unixware. We went from poor performance (i.e. 90-100% CPU utilization and long run times) to great performance (i.e. 15-25% CPU utilization and quick run times). No hardware changes were made -- just an OS switch. I have had the same experience with NT vs. Netware as well. My point is that Oracle and Netware have neve mixed well (in my experience)...
