Installing Drupal

Hi,

I'm evaluating content management systems for my website, and one my requirements is that the selected system with our Oracle 9i database server. Drupal's features look promising but the database support may be an issue.

I'm interested in hearing from people who use Oracle as a repository for Drupal, particularly comments on scope of any customization or implementation work. I'm the only resource for this project and most of my time is allocated for other things. If integrating Drupal and Oracle is uncharted, or charted and a monumental task, please warn me now.

Whenever I post a node like a story, the taxanomy categories selected are not displayed. I have to manually administer the node to add them. Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

Also, what do I need to do for have notification of new "view submissions" awaiting to be approved? ie, the number awaiting or letters next to it saying 'new'.

Thanks in advance.

Is there an easy way to turn off the "Submitted by {author} on {date}" line for certain sites (e.g., about, contact, etc.). At news subsites, forum subsites, or blogs they are necessary but at contact subpages or about subpages (IMHO) they doesn't fit.

The "Submitted by" line seems to be hardcoded in most themes, e.g., in xtemplate it is in xtemplate.theme

function node($node, $main = 0) {...}

and xtemplate.xtmpl

Submitted by {author} on {date}.

When I create a cotent with "" quoted.
when submint a "\" redundatly appear.
I also found a "\" redundatly appear in the table cache. and so my language "zh--chinese" can't work.
Can someone help me about this!
Thanks!

Version 4.2. The error message:

user error: Duplicate entry '4' for key 1
query: INSERT INTO term_data (tid, name, description, vid, weight) VALUES ('4', 'XFML', '', '1', '0') in /home/jcwinni/public_html/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 75.

Status: created new term 'XFML'.

Some abusive developers on the IRC channel indicated the problem might have to do with the 'sequences' table.

Is there a cleaner way than modifying the code to get rid of some of the items in the top navigation line? E.g. I installed the "filestore" module but I don't want users to have a link to the files page in the navigation at the top (and bottom) of the page.

I'm linking directly from within a book page to these files, and the uploaded files wouldn't make any sense without the context of the book pages...
