Re: Unix Oracle vs NT SQL7 Performance on same hardware

Hi,

    Check out the TPC benchmarks for NT 4.0. They show a Proliant 8500-550-8P has a tpmC rating of 40368 running Sql Server and a Proliant 6500 PDC/01000 is rated at 33935 running Oracle. They also show a Proliant 6400R-550 as being rated at 25633 when running Sql Server.

    I think that the major benefits of going to Oracle are increased reliability and scalibility and -- since you are obviously concerned about growth -- the reduced cost of "biting the bullet" and making the change now before you write any more code that is RDBMS specific.
