greeetings.

just got back from our local oracle users group meeting and the tech performing
made a statement of how the oracle server for netware was a NLM, and also an
integral component in the regression tests used by novell to certify other NLMs.

is this an example of marketting exuberance? if so, why would novell do 
something like this? without an exception i can think of, databases are toxic 
to operating systems, with the impact on netware conceivably larger due to its
single nature. 

the other point he made was that the novell OS is non-preemptive. i have no 
knowledge of this fact or otherwise, but if so, would a wildly large sql 
statement parse not hiccup the whole system.

inquiring minds..
