Well yes, but the darn Oracle server says! "Whatz Dat?".

The point that Danny is trying to make is that we don't "know" oracle
because we're not using the latest and greatest release aka 10g. 11i isn't
due out for a month and frankly, I wouldn't want to be on the latest version
of Oracle and then have to deal with their support idjits who first try to
deny that its a bug, and then try to tell you that its not a severity 1.
(Oh yes Daniel we've had such lovely experience with Oracle.)


But again, lets get way back on track. Informix beats Oracle because its a
better designed engine. With Oracle things are "bolted" on. And you are
forced to live with bad design decisions.

Larry may be a genius at marketing, but he's a piss poor engineer.
