Well, he may be writing client software on Windows that needs to talk to an Oracle DB on Solaris or Linux. | [reply] |

Conceivably, but the thing is, he gave absolutely no indication that
he's on Windows. (If he had, I would have been less likely to make
such a potentially inflammatory remark, however true it is.) The
other poster just guessed it out of
thin air, perhaps because it's a subject he knows something
about. Then a whole subthread developed about that and dominated the
discussion. But it probably has nothing at all to do with the
original question. Granted, it's hard to be really sure, because the
original question is pretty vague. But all else being equal, if the
question is about Oracle, I would tend *not* to assume Windows.
