Re: Oracle News from OraWorld

Robert,

I apologize if there is any confusion -- OraWorld is NOT affiliated with Oracle Corp. in any way. OraWorld is a separate company and we post these messages on the newsgroups to keep people notified about news that's happening in the Oracle world -- which also includes updates about other database companies. Many people find the postings useful -- especially overseas. These postings are not a commercial advertisement for Oracle at all. I'm sorry for the confusion -- we'll post a disclaimer at the beginning of our message next time. Again, we are not a part of Oracle. Hope this clears things up a bit.

Regards,
Kathleen O'Connor
