Peter:
Add to your survey a couple of users (at the moment two, potentially increasing) using ORACLE 6 on a PC (the OS/2-version); add to that ORACLE*CASE.
PCs became power-workstations. E.g. my machine is a 486DX33/66, 24 MB memory, 2*400MB harddisk, 128MB magneto-optical.
Such PCs become cheaper and cheaper and one can afford to give 120MB of harddisk to ORACLE+ORACLE*CASE. Also they become faster and faster.
