David, My "sources" in Oracle Corp say that they definately are coming out with an ABI compliant 68030 SVR4 package. No time scale yet. I've also heard that Unisys and DG are working on SVR4. Again…nothing definate, and Unisys is in a bit of trouble…no idea on DG. Yes…you have to train the staff, but you've got to train the staff for any new OS, and the training for a '486 SVR4 should also carry over to the 68030 machines since from the user's perspective…they aren't different machines. Basic tuning of the machine should be the same…with little, if any, differneces machine to machine. Oracle itself would run/work the same on both platforms as it does now across various platforms and OS's (with some minor exceptions). But yes…for this instant in time…I personally know of no SQL based software available for any SVR4 68030 box. Don
