Agreed. Apps shouldn't know anything about the os at the other end of that pipe we call SQL*Net.

However, as we all know all too well, when the business customer has already committed $$ to an app that he insists is absolutely vital to his operation, it's nigh unto impossible to convince him that he spent his money on a piece of s***.

Which is an entirely different problem from convincing a clueless app vendor that, no, their app does NOT care which OS the DB is on. Received on Fri Feb 20 2004 - 14:25:44 CST
