I have two separate database connections to an oracle database. The connections are in separate folders and are attached to the same ORACLE database.

Are there any hidden do's and don'ts for multiple database connections?

Not that I can think of... Of course, since 1.10.3 is not threaded you should take care not to do any really expensive queries.

Are the connections actually one in the same?

No -- if you asked the database who was logged in (ala sp_who on sybase) you'd see two logins.

Are there any platform issues where this is a bad idea(Windows ODBC or LINUX - NET8)?

Can't think of any. --Rob P.S. - How goes Oracle on Linux? Stable, reliable, etc, "easy" to setup?
