alot of 3GL developers treat databases as excel spreadsheets, unfortunately.
Wasnt 9i release about 9 months after it was announced? I believe it was announced at Oracle World in September 2000, then released what june/july 2001?

Its typically a year or so after release before you see many jobs advertising that they are using it. Might be longer now, since with the slow economy there is alot less new development. Received on Wed Oct 01 2003 - 12:14:07 CDT
