No, it didn't go away.. We're rewriting and vastly enhancing an existing
system that had an oracle database backend.. Luckily we have the luxury
of starting the new system off with a different DB (it looks like we'll
be using postgreSQL -- a compromise between technical and political
concerns). We will need write/use utilities to move the legacy data
over at some point, so more work could get done on this then if it makes
sense, although conceivably we'll be able to get by as is.
