...goes without saying.
I'm just wondering if this a guerilla launch for some new Oracle product
or project, or what, exactly? I'm _very_ confused.
Maybe Paul K. can clear it all up, but apparently he's out of the office
right now.
Meanwhile, I'm failing to see a product, figures, source code, or more
to the point, any operational aspect at all in any of these ad-spam
posts.
Consider this a formal request for root-plink, before we have a major
corp try to sell us a database solution or proprietary kernel via the
list.
<sigh>
