And yet another tale in the Saga of PeopleSoft vs. Oracle.  Does anyone else 
remember about 1-2(?) years ago when PeopleSoft started putting feelers out to 
their clients about no longer supporting Oracle?  We got all this info about 
how other databases were benchmarking faster, and that they were looking at 
discontinuing their support for Oracle sometime in the future?  I do beliee 
they 
backed off because for so many years they were pushing Oracle as the best 
database to use back-end, of course that was before Oracle started pushing 
their 
own front end tools.

I have to agree- it seems like these two companies have been after each other 
for a while now.  Kind of reminds me of bully's on a playground at school 
time.  My biggest concern if this happens, is the impact to all the customers 
who 
rely on the tax updates, crucial fixes that are in the works and general 
support (such that it is).  

Does anyone here have experience working on Oracle's front end stuff?  I 
would be curious to find out what their support is like and how buggy their 
product is in comparision to PeopleSoft.  And does Oracle not use SQR?  I have 
only 
used Oracle as a back-end database, so I am not familiar with what it 
does/does not do.
