SearchDatabase Member,
Act today to win a free Xbox video game system. Just tell your peers about the free information you get from searchDatabase, and if three or more of them become members, then you'll be eligible to win one of the ten game consoles we're giving away.

Special note to Oracle, DB2, Sybase and Informix users:
OK, the Xbox is a Microsoft product. But we're not asking you migrate to SQL Server or pledge allegiance to Bill Gates or anything -- it's just a video game. And it's a free contest, so nothing should hold you back!

Remember, to be eligible, three or more of the folks you refer have to become searchDatabase members -- so refer all the DBAs and developers you know and urge them to register today.

Click here to spread the word and win!

Thank you,
Rick Nendza
Site Manager, searchDatabase

This Week: In the forums
>> Oracle and C++ Builder connection problem
Member "imset" has Personal Oracle and C++ Builder installed but when he tries to connect to the database, he gets an error about "using the defined driver." Go to our "DBA Water Cooler" forum if you can help him out.
>> A Web database without the Web?
Member "asts" is wondering if there's a way to create a Web-based database in parallel with an offline database on the client side? Does the MS Personal Web Server have anything to do with this? Can anybody offer any advice in our "DBA Water Cooler" forum?

Tip of the Week:
This impressive Oracle script -- created in the Bourne Shell on HP-UX 11.0 -- is intended to analyze, report and fix problems associated with Core Advanced Replication. It is interactive and can fix and report the status of advanced replication on a one-way basis. The list of replication directions you can fix is dynamically updated depending on how many databases you have in your repgroup.
