Ha! I had a 6900 go to the 'ok' prompt for no obvious reason last night.
But as a general rule they are pretty reliable.

Some third party applications written for small markets seem to be
written by programmers who should really take up basket weaving. There's
three names that if I use in the same sentence will cause the DBAs at
work to start cowering in the corner. One does something so unspeakable
to Oracle (many Oracle customers have been tempted, but it isn't
something you should do in a released application) that we can't use any
Oracle hot backup tools on the relevant instance.
