Still I don't see why Oracle can't produce a Server Manager client for Oracle7 that would work on a Mac. Obviously they would have to continue to suppport the current Server Manager on the Mac that works with their Oracle6 Mac DBMS, but that is their problem. It would seem to be the least they could do if they are not going to upgrade their Mac DBMS in a timely fashion.

Just my $.02 (and trying to shame someone at Oracle into responding).
