This is really a strange world. Ok, this is a news group with "Oracle" in it's name. But...

All I did was to point on some features, which (in my personal opinion) could be improved with Oracle. The initial post was a very pro-Oracle description, and why shouldn't somebody show some subjects which don't work optimally on the Windows plattform?

It is wrong, that I do not like Oracle in general. It's a very good database, it has some very strong features. But I really doubt, that it is absolutely necessary, to present itsself that bad, when it comes to the Windows plattform. It's a big task, but complex software doesn't necessarily have to be installed and maintained in a complex way.

I am a professional software developer. I do Windows only. All of my hardware is Windows only. If Oracle wants to have people like me as users, maybe they shouldn't completely ignore these people's comments.

I do not understand why you posted these remarks. I think they are not a fair answer to my posts in this thread.
