Getting your point a bit late...
- I would hold that oracle does not actually use Windows
to it fullest (notably in the user interface area)
- Even when ignoring the incompatibility of SP languages,
I dont see how to build a tiny compatibility layer. If a bulk
collect is fast for database A, and a loop is fast for database
B, well, you have to rewrite all looping code. You cannot really
abstract a loop (in standard procedural languages)
