We're currently running "Limited Production" Oracle on our 6000. (Limited
Production means it came without manuals :-). The database is on a 320
and we currently have about 200 MB of data on-line. It's been stable.
There have been a couple of minor bugs, but nothing significant.

The application we're running has been migrated from our 3090 mainframe
(model ?? -- 2 cpus ). We have early results showing respectable 
performance of the 6000 compared with the 3090. ( 3090 -> 25% loaded,
6000 -> 2 users )

We'll have better data in a month or two, as other applications are moved
onto the 6000. In summary, the RDBMS has been running well, we're having
good luck with it so far.
