Hi Vishal, 

Messages/segments/fields in an oracle database. Does that make sense?  

Yes, that's a very common use of HAPI.  

server but I will probably extend Class Parser and implement my own parser
that would actually save the parsed 

I suggest implementing ca.uhn.hl7v2.app.Application instead of extending
Parser.  The TCP/IP server will parse messages for you, and send them to
your Application's processMessage(Message) method, where you can put the
code that writes to the database.  See the HL7Service javadocs for
information on registering your application with the server (it's easy --
you make a file with a line that identifies the message types and trigger
events that you handle, and the name of your application class).  

Another thing I noticed that HAPI is restricted to start with '\u000b' and
end with '\u001c' + '\r'. Most of the people I work with, they have random
message delimiters but consistent within their facility, I mean they never
follow standards 

Wow.  I guess that shouldn't be surprising, but HAPI is almost 2 years old
and you're the first one to mention this.  Maybe the practice varies
regionally.  Where are you located?  How many times have you seen
non-standard message delimiters?
