Would you be able to provide a reference to
the(se) article(s)? I have a memory of
something about the start of an MGA in
Oracle in V. 4, but it was not completely
implemented until 7. BTW, I quoted your
(very readable and well written) article
on comp.databases.oracle.server. I believe
that I misspelt your name - sorry about
that!
