I've had just this experience. The problem is with SQLNET. Version 1 of SQLNET can't multitask or release control of the OS. Our Oracle salesman said we'd have to wait for version 2 of SQLNET to correct this problem. Version 2 is released for most major OS's. For the Mac, however, it'll be until the end of the year, maybe early next year, before they release a version 2 for the Mac. Until then I guess we'll just have to twiddle our thumbs.
