Re: so when did you switch from NT to unix for oracle

First time to this topic.

I am not an Oracle expert like all of you. But I have been using w2k since 1999 and haven't had any of the problem that you mention. I agree with Tomas if it is well administered and only for this purpose you won't have problem.

Note: Not everybody has 200 GB in his company.
