I'm interested in this also. We're now in the process of setting up a new Sequent with Oracle. Installation has not been a joy, but I'd like to hear from those that have the product up and running.

What have been your experiences with the product?

Is it less/more stable than other releases of oracle or other database packages?

How was the installation process?

How often in the past have you needed to patch and/or upgrade your operating system and Oracle DBMS?

Thanks for your help!
