Hi Daniel, for now, I'm not really concern about redundancy such as snapshot, live backup, etc, etc. What I'd like to have is a full functioning Oracle Database with minimal resources - (128MB RAM, 2GB Disk) but has all its features such as full SQL*92 features, Strored Procedures ...etc. Thanks Received on Fri May 21 2004 - 18:54:44 CDT
