Satellite DB

[steve.stamper at foremost.com]

I'm looking into setting up a Satellite Stand-Alone Server.   I have 2
questions:

1) In the installation guide it says, "The Stand-Alone Database must not
run on the same server as the RHN Satellite Server."  Why?

2) We don't have an Oracle DBA in house.  Are we stuck using Oracle or can
we use something else?

Thanks - Steve
