Actually you have made the ACME Hosting service less than helpful to Joey..

If they were any good at customer service that would let Joey know that a separate schema ( Not Instance) can be created within the existing single Oracle instance for his needs...He can be granted sufficient rights to manage his own schema and his church users would be allowed access to only that schema...

No license violation ( as I read it) and no need for MySql... Received on Mon Nov 07 2005 - 12:11:01 CST
