Actualy, I can see that it might take 6 weeks for Oracle administration
training.  After all, Oracle is a BIG proponent of the NC and with the
bandwidth required ot support an NC, it might just stretch things out a
bit. :-)

Larry Evilson should perhaps tend to his knitting a little more closely
lest SQL Server or IMAGE/SQL eat his lunch.

Kind regards,

This is funnt - I was with a customer today, training them on
administering and maintaining Microsoft SQL/Server...the also have Oracle
for NT.

I spent one day with them and had them running and working with it - as
well as starting to code to it (and the the 3000 from Image/SQL :-)

The guy from Oracle called --- the same type of request --- administer and
maintain.  The guy says that it would take over six weeks to train them
just to administer it!  They told them (with me in the room) that "we have
someone here, who did in one day, what you're telling us will take six
weeks?!?!"...and some other uncomplimentary words...

Needless to say, they're not impressed.  (They also asked if I could do
Oracle...alas, I had to turn that one down)...

Thought this little story was funny - and only slightly appropriate to
this thread.  Does it really take six full weeks to get trained to
administer an Oracle installation?  C'Mon!  Someone either wanted to bill
a lot of money, or it's a lot more complicated than some let on...
