Hi Folks,
As part of the preparation of the Oracle FAQ (not including the excellent
DBA FAQ already regularly posted), I am trying to get some idea of what
you are all using out there.  To this purpose, I enclose a survey form
(just fill it in using the reply command of your mailer) and get it
back to me.

At the moment, this is fairly free-form, so don't worry if you want to
break the format in the reply.

If you see a glaring omission, let me know.

I will post a summary.

Regards,
David
