Dennis,
I'm not sure your referring to the message I posted a couple of weeks ago,
but the labeling on the CD's from Oracle can be deceiving. Each CD pack ships
with both the 32 and 64 bit versions of Oracle, one of which is labeled with the
bit value). Make sure you've got the right one.
If memory is serving correctly 'variant' in MicroSlop maps somewhat to raw
in Oracle.

Rachel - We are using 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Solaris. No problems so far,
but not much mileage on either. The one thing that came up is that you must
be careful because you seem to get 32-bit Oracle by default. Someone on this
list suggested running "file oracle".
Oracle does have user-defined data types if that helps.

Okay, I'm working on what feels like 30 new projects all at once and I
WILL be RTFM'ing as soon as I can get more than 5 minutes out of
meetings but....
first: has anyone heard of any problems with 64-bit Oracle on a
Solaris 64-bit OS?
second (and this one confuses me a bit)... I've been asked if Oracle9i
supports a "variant" datatype -- they are not familiar with oracle but
are familiar with SQL Server and say that there is a datatype called
"variant" there where you can basically overload the column with
whatever datatype you want (string, number, date) and the database
knows what type of data it is storing within the column. They referred
me to C++ and Java, neither of which I know.
Can anyone point in the right direction to start researching this?
Thanks!
Rachel
