Simon,
People are very passionate about this feature. This feature has the
ability to show us as moving forward in a fashion that will allow us to
directly compete with the "big boys" in the "big installs", although we
are still probably 2-3 releases from that.
It also has the ability to make us look like a bunch of yahoos (no pun
intended) who are better served beating up on that database that Oracle
just bought, versus Oracle itself.
Patience is a virtue for all when it comes to the this feature.
