Re: postgresql vs oracle vs informix

Thanks Stanislav. I did not know about 8.1.6.1 I am already an "Oracle developer" so I went to Oracle technet web-site, but I can not find version 8.1.6.1 Where did you get it ? If you could send me the direct link I would be forever grateful. :-) Pedro. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stanislav Borutsky <borus@bigfoot.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 8:31 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] postgresql vs oracle vs informix > > > Pedro Garre wrote: > > > On the other hand, I have wasted a lot of time trying to install oracle on my linux machine > > and I don't want to go through the same nightmare in Solaris.
