On this thread, I am seeing a lot of things in the archives hinting
at issues and problems with Apache::Session ( DBI usage ) and high
end DB's like Oracle and SyBase.
What sort of success is anyone seeing using Oracle/SyBase with

Take a look at Frontbase www.frontbase.com From what I can see, it does
everything that Oracle or Sybase can do and is much more reasonable in
