This is a quick question for the Yahoo! people, or anyone else who may happen to know. I was wonder how does Yahoo! have its front end web servers (running FreeBSD) talk to their backend database? The way I understand it (and I could be wrong), most of Yahoo!'s webservers are running modified FreeBSD-4.0, and their backend database is Oracle. (At lease our Oracle reps are telling us Yahoo! uses Oracle for its database.) Because of the lack of native client libs for FreeBSD, I was wondering how this is being done. ODBC? Middleware? Something that Yahoo! wrote them self? Thanks. -- Jim O'Gorman | It is not enough to succeed.
