by Dear Database Engine Vendors:
I wish to include a list of alternatives to the Oracle RDBMS for inclusion
in the next version of the Oracle FAQ. (http://www.bf.rmit.edu.au/OracleFAQ).
However, I am pushed for time and cannot format/trim everybodies submission
and web them up, so if you want to be included, you should snip, fill out
I will not include products who send (a) multiple mailings or (b) extraneous
gumpf apart from short .signatures, as I need to discourage too much mail
at a time. So if you see this message, pass it to your head office.
If you are a tools vendor (reports/forms/utilities, etc) please use the
other skeleton I am posting for you.
Fill in where you see XXXX-description-XXXXX stuff.
If you want to send more info, hard-copy, disks, etc, send it to

(Technical stuff only - not just glossies for managers!)
DO NOT FAX UNLESS REQUESTED.
Remember to trim out my comments which are in {curly braces}, and if
you do not stick to the format, I will ignore you.
Regards
orafaq (David T. Bath)
