There is again a rash of people asking question in comp.databases.oracle
and these people are likely disappointed at the lack of responses.

Please note that this is not an official news group. Back in the late
90s, the Oracle user community decided to officially split this into
several subgroups. As a result, not all news servers will carry the
messages you post here, and very few Oracle professionals monitor the
questions here!

The real newsgroups, and a brief interpretation of each charter:

comp.databases.oracle.marketplace
- jobs, announcements and commercial info

comp.databases.oracle.server
- questions about Oracle database and it's components

comp.databases.oracle.tools
- questions about other Oracle products, esp. developer suite

comp.databases.oracle.misc
- everything else

is under the Usenet link,
