No. Stay within the Queen's language, please. I said there are very few (if any) commercial app conversions AWAY from Oracle. What there is is PORTING AS WELL to SQL Server and DB2. Perfectly kosher in anyone's book and only you could come up with the derivation that it is a "conversion from Oracle".

Me too. New installations are "conversions" now, eh? Makes a lot of sense. Just like the Amdahl recycled old history, the denial of the obvious in IBM's own site, etcetc. I let that speak for itself as well....
