Duoh!!  (sitting back in my lazyboy, sipping on some soda, nibbling on popcorn, turning to Jared and Chris, waiting pensively for there return volley) -----Original Message----- From: Marin Dimitrov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:30 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: Java in the database   ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Spence To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 16:05 Subject: RE: Java in the database OrionServer runs on almost any platform as it is pure java.  So not sure I buy the 'supports more os's' comment.   Orion has been tested on the following platforms: Windows 95/98/NT/2000 Sparc Solaris Linux FreeBSD 4.x AS/400 HP-UX (with classic vm)     If you take a look at the BEA platform certification page (http://edocs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html) u'll see something more than the "Note that we can not guarantee that all configurations or jvm's will work on the above OSes, it's merely an indication on what platforms Orion has been succesfully used. " that is found in the Orion docs     Keep in mind Orion server was the first J2EE commercial product,   It's J2EE based, but not J2EE certified.   I couldn't find any indication that Orion is certified in the FAQ/features page, and both BEA and Flashline.com claim Orion is not certified   As for the 5x better performance  - there is a similar compariosn from BEA that claims WebLogic to be 54% fatser than OAS 9i (http://www.bea.com/products/weblogic/server/performance_oracle.shtml)          Marin   ---- "...what you brought from your past, is of no use in your present.
