Migration to Oracle ?

[Alma Garcia <almag@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At the time we purchased III Oracle was not a viable option for us.  In 
the last few years many things have changed and the question was raised 
as to weather it was possible.  Granted it might would not be something 
we are in a position to do this summer, but it is something  to 
consider, if it is a possibility.
