Re: Y2K Precautions w/Oracle

"Oracle" (meaning the server) might well be Y2K compliant in recent versions, but parts of the Oracle toolkit need careful attention. Developer2000 is a case in point.

You really need to read the Oracle Y2K white papers *in depth* and relate them to your particular system.

Good luck
