Just been porting our app to Oracle. It took me 3 days to install, and an
extreme amount of frustration ie. jre1.1.6 is hardwired in so you have to
have it to install, oci apps core when dynamically linked, column size
(linesize) set to greater than 125 causes a core when describing an
object in sqlplus,...
Will look at IB when it comes around, but right now give me Postgres anyday!
