In a hope not to be flamed for advertising, I will shortly say that Oracle is
available, but please contact you Oracle representative for any further info.

The database is on a 320 and we currently have about 200 MB of data on-line. It's been stable. There have been a couple of minor bugs, but nothing significant. The application we're running has been migrated from our 3090 mainframe (model ?? -- 2 cpus ). We have early results showing respectable performance of the 6000 compared with the 3090. ( 3090 -> 25% loaded, 6000 -> 2 users ) We'll have better data in a month or two, as other applications are moved onto the 6000. In summary, the RDBMS has been running well, we're having good luck with it so far. -- Dewey Paciaffi ...!uunet!edi386!eddjp

In fact, our V6 product supports X-Windows ! If you are interested, contact our pre-sales department at 617-275-4500 or 1-800-FAST-4-GL, or reply to me by email and I'll make sure someone gets back to you. ________________________________________________________________________________ Timothy M.
