I'd sure like to have your message translated into English. Last time I looked, and it was just a few minutes ago, Oracle didn't sell UNIX.

If you truly believe that Oracle is counted every UNIX installation as a database customer ... like IBM counts every AS400 as a DB2 customer. You are drinking something far stronger than the Laphroaig I'm sipping.
