New Yep, that's why I think he should look at Oracle/PostgreSQL
With Oracle 9i being the first priority.

Although I think IB should get a fair shot, it doesn't have much market or mind share. Norm is interested in learning stuff that employers will be interested....thus Oracle should be #1. And, given the similarities between Oracle and PostgreSQL, I think PostgreSQL should be the open source data base he tries to learn if he has any time after practicing with Oracle.

New This bandwidth is killing me
I just finished downloading 8i and now 9i is three CDs full of files? Yikes! I hope my ISP doesn't ding me for the bandwidth used to download them.

rpmfind.net doesn't seem to work, I also tried www.rpmfind.net, got a host not found error. Either my ISP is flakey or their host is down?

New Got it!
I went to [link|http://www.rpmfind.org|[link|http://www.rpmfind.org|http://www.rpmfind.org]] and got it from there. I am not sure why the .net didn't work? Must be my DNS flaking out on me?

Thine is a mere venal sin which may be atoned: dast not move it very far or very often, or Ever! -- to the 7-11 for a Big G{ulp..} and a Lottery ticket. This be thy penance.
