Hi!

We are using a Radiological Information System based on Oracles Forms3. A few months ago, our software supplier upgarde our RIS to a newer Oracle version.
We currently have installed:

Oracle7 Server Release 7.2.2.3.0 - Production Release PL/SQL Release 2.2.2.3.0 - Production

Since that upgrade, the Forms3 binaries are now about 2 times as large as they used to be! And that is pretty though on our AIX 4.1.5 server.

Our software supplier just tells us we have to accept this; it's Oracles fault and they don't care to do anything about it!

So is this all? Do I realy have to equipe my UNIX server with 1GB of RAM just to have plain-looking Forms3 ASCII appplications running?

Is there anything to do about it or to make some pressure on Oracle?

Cheers
