Re: Oracle 8.0 -> Oracle 9i

ok, thanx for somewhat answering my question anyway :)

the problem is that I was allways a little bit sceptic about all the ultra cool new (internet) features etc.... i don't need it.

but because we're now 2 versions behind and also the support is slipping away.... better late, then never.

thanx
