Re: Anyone have a copy of DUL ??

Hi Pete

I have used Dul many times at customer sites when I was employed by Oracle Denmark.

Every time the customer management had to verify by phone and fax that they understood
the full impact of using Dul.  

Oracle have disclaimer that explains the problems with missing transaction consistency of the
data saved by Dul and the security issues.

The customer has to sign and fax the disclaimer back to Oracle before we came on site .-)

After I left Oracle several people ask me if would write a Dul and I declined.

I'm of the opinion that Dul should stay behind the Oracle firewall.
