Has anyone out there in netland had any experience with Oracle for the Mac?

I have heard minimal reviews word-of-mouth (you know - "it sucks" or "it's 
the greatest thing since sliced bread") but I would like to hear some real
war stories from folks who have had extensive experience on this platform.

I am the DBA for our on-site Sun 4x, Sun 3x and DEC RISC platforms so I am 
quite familiar with the product and some of its caveats.  I would like to 
hear from anyone who has had experience in bringing up a database on the Mac 
as well as its reliability and performance.  Any "gotchas" too.

Please email at cooper@seismo.css.gov

Thanks in advance...
