As Carel-Jan already said, I am wondering too why would one use "heterogeneous DG" systems on different oracle platforms (linux-windoz) and specially systems with different "endian-ness" (irrespective of if this is supported or not). If someone on the list have such configuration, I would like to hear the reasons for this. regards, goran On Nov 20, 2007 9:30 PM, Tim Gorman <tim@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thank you for the response.
