Oracle on OS/390 is basically the same codebase as the other Oracle
platforms. Which is the reason that it works so poorly on OS/390 and few of
the companies who have it installed use it for production applications.
Then why do companies (over 500) buy Oracle for OS/390 if it works so poorly
compared to DB2 for OS/390. One consultant told me: "For the same reason
that people buy pet rocks."
