Ok, I'm missing something here. To build and populate a database, from a full DB export, on the Compaq ES40 that we were demo'ing took in excess of 2 hours. Doing the same on an HP9000 N2000 class took only 45 minutes. I've got to go back to a very old HP9000 847 to get performance similar to the Compaq and at that the build/import time was a grand total of 1 hour & 55 minutes. Sure the Compaq is cheaper that the HP hardware, but for an application that has a design response goal of less than 5 minutes something here is dead wrong.

Oracle on Compaq Tru64 (4100's and ES40's) in our evaluations and environment are extremly fast. More bang for the buck than HP, Sun etc.

thanks frank

Hey Folks,

    The other day three of us from my company went down to a Compaq site to try out an Alpha 440MHZ machine with TRU64 as the OS. To put matters in a short sentence, performance was a joke at best. I'm rather inclined to believe it was the particular machine we were using as it is used for lots of demo work & is consequently a mess. Do any of you TRU64 users out there seeing the same performance???

    Technicians & Engineers can never earn more than Managers. This is because:

Power = Work/Time
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
therefore Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money gives Money = Work/Knowledge Now as Knowledge decreases to 0, Money heads for infinity regardless of Work.
