Enterprise has built-in support for Oracle. You can still use Oracle with Standard. All you have to do is add Oracles JDBC class. It's fairly simple and is what I did since I was using Standard. Standard is way cheaper and the way to go if you don't have a need for the rest of the features that come with Enterprise. -Dutch On Sat, Mar 8, 2008 at 9:22 AM, Bud Manz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Dutch!
