I called Oracle "Direct PC" sales at Oracle after seeing a $200 advertisement, they (trainees?) were confused by my statement that I am an Oracle customer. They FAXed me some marketing excretia: the product is pretty weak (IMHO), besides the RDBMS it only includes SQL*Plus and OLE 2? support. They said that to get SQL*Net, Forms, etc. you would have to buy the "full" (non-stand-alone?) Windows Oracle7. It is all suposed to come out in Jan95.
Drop me an EMail at PierceED_at_csus.edu (with your FAX#?) for more info.
