Sorry Jon, I didn't really mean to be an advocate for virtualization of
Oracle datababases.
I don't really care for it too much myself, except in limited circumstances.
eg. I am using a virtual linux server for a replicated OID environment.
This is a very
low stress application, (db names resolution only) so no problems there.

The parameter under discussion seemed that it may well lend itself to use in

virtual environments.
