phw02 Clarification

In page 6 "Packaging", we said that we will run the command make and then it should result in the final executables pdbo and pdbp. There is a problem that we cannot compile both programs in one machine because pdbo requires Oracle library and pdbp requires PostgreSQL library. Therefore, instead of a single make cammand, we will use make pdbp on the linuxlab machines and make pdbo on the dc machines, and they should result in the obvious actions.
Due to the Oracle JDBC LOB problem (see "Re: varchar character limit" in newsgroup), you are allowed to support essays of only 4000 bytes max in pdbo. For PostgreSQL, you should support essays of 10000 bytes.
