From paled@home.com Wed, 09 May 2001 23:53:10 -0700 From: Paul Drake Date: Wed, 09 May 2001 23:53:10 -0700 Subject: comp.oracle.databases.server vs ORACLE-L: deathmatch Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I have to say that the newsgroup comp.oracle.databases.server is much more NT Friendly. (IOUG: Did anything happen from IOUG concerning the ORACLE-NT-L mailing list?) Not just Jonathan Lewis, but Sybrand Baker, Howard Rodgers, Ricky Sanchez put out some pretty good stuff. I'd post to the ORACLE-L from work - but its a long story. Basically, I'm subscribed at work in DIGEST mode, but I can't get out of it. So I post when I get home from the home mail account that I can't use from work. Yes, most of the newsgroup is junk, but lately, I'd say that the signal-to-noise ratio is comperable to ORACLE-L. Best thing is - its threaded. Email just plain sucks. Threading rules (not in an OS - just in messages). and there's (practically) no lag. So in a deathmatch, the interested newsgroup readers/posters would have won the competition 2 hours before the first post was received by all the ORACLE-L subscribers. just my opinion. the attached is typical for the material I see in the newsgroup.

If you are running W2K server or Pro - MMC is included. If you are running NT4 - you need to have installed the MMC for the Oracle Admin Asst plug-in. hth, Paul -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Paul Drake INET: paled@home.com Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
