People periodically post questions to the comp.databases.oracle newsgroup
and may wonder why there are very few responses.

Basically, comp.databases.oracle is NOT a newsgroup anymore, but rather
just a pointer or place holder to the correct newsgroups. Several years
ago, the group 'attendees' decided to split the group into subgroups.
Since this was a formal decision, many news servers that are set up to
follow standards no longer carry the posts in this group.

If you want answers, please post to ONE OF the appropriate groups

comp.databases.oracle.misc
comp.databases.oracle.server
comp.databases.oracle.tools
comp.databases.oracle.marketplace
