    Question about grad school

    Yes, Oracle is important, but also Microsoft SQL Server. I work for a government agency and we have one large Oracle server. But because of the expense, all of our other databases are in SQL Server (200+ databases on six servers) Because of this we have one Oracle DBA and 4 SQL DBA's.

    I don't know if this helps but when you install version 8 on a machine you install version 8 of cpeaut32.dll, which is the crystal reports version 8 engine. It over writes version 7. Even if you uninstall 8 and reinstall 7 you still will have the version 8 engine on your system. If you...
