What makes you think the reasons are based on the mainframe? Especially when you say you're on XP? System 360/370/390, etc. was *not* the first platform Oracle was developed on. Any perceived problems with Oracle certainly do *not* come from its having roots in the mainframe.

And what makes you think the "mainframe" is "antiquated"? Do you think they've been sitting around doing nothing for the last 20 years? Received on Tue Oct 10 2006 - 08:06:55 CDT
