Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle and SUN
I believe that its because they feel that Sun is not a stable platform. Not that the OS is not stable but that it keeps changing. HP is relatively stable.

What I've heard is that Larry E. is having a hissy fit and Oracle is removing all the Sun's that they own, except that Sun is still their initial development platform.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
Check Oracle.com, you wil see banners "Oracle and HP-UX, your solution" or
something like that.
It is true, and not a rumour, why though, I would love to know.
I wonder as HP has talked about getting out of the software market (or was it hardware) a little while ago.

What's this about Oracle not favoring Sun anymore?
Is this just a rumour, or is it true?
I thought Oracle wrote their rdbms software on SunOS, then ported it to other platforms.
Is Oracle in the process of changing this?
What happened? Is this related to the MetaLink problems they had over a month ago?

Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX.
I am bias to Solaris as I am acustom to it, but with the change in
direction of Oracle, I am considering HP-UX, and due to the cost and
performance benefits of AiX, I am also looking there. So in answer, I
really don't know. I would like to say Sun but I don't think they would be
my best choice.

Subject: Would you use 9i?
I am starting a new company, I am going to be
building a platform which will use Oracle database as it's infrastructure.
It will be a very large application and environment If all goes well. It
will take about a year from start to finish till I will attempt to be live.
I am debating about using 9i or sticking with 8.1.7. Since it will be in
development, I am comfortable within a year 9i should just be about stable,
and would be nice to already be on it's features, specially it's OPS
features. And not have to worry about the big move over (and probably
costly) in the future. During development it would be easy to have 8.1.7
and 9i side by side just in case something crops ups and hinders our path.
Anyone have anything bad to say about that idea? Let them rip, and be honest.
