Re: Need info on Unix over NT for Oracle 8

Hi:

Two sources of help:

1. Take a look at the TPC benchmarks on www.tpc.org. Last I saw, NT maxed out at 27k transactions/minute, while UNIX topped out at 102K tpm. Big difference....
2. Take a look at the availability section of my home page. There's a discussion of NT's "unique challenges".

Good luck,
