RE: Re[2]: Re[2]:Upgrading Oracle

Tell me about the 3rd party application!! I have a group of people who just purchase a 3rd party tool but it HAD to run on Sybase. They just dump me the Sybase database and tell me they will be in production 2 months!! :P

I told my boss, if there is no training given. They can all cry when the database crash because I am NOT going to support that!
