Benjamin,

Mark was (I'm pretty sure) referring to SQR V 3, which is available on a
number of platforms (and more are being added each week).  I have had a
chance to play with it and believe it to be stable.  I only crashed it
once, and that was on a pre-release version.

Would you believe, at the East Coast Oracle conference last week, I loaded
Oracle7 for Windows and SQR3 for Windows on a 486 laptop (33mhz) with 12
meg of memory and 100 meg of free disk.  It took about 2 hours (and 1 beer)
once I got the PCMCIA SCSI card in and hooked up the SCSI CD Rom drive, and
most of that (1 3/4 hours) was the Oracle7 installation.

Ran like a dream.  Did everything I asked of it, and then some.

I was in heaven.  Then I had to give the laptop back, and returned to my
hand-me-down 286 laptop.  Sniff, sniff.

Matt...

musta left them back at the office.
