Anyone contemplating upgrading anything more important than a sandbox
database to 9i is nutso.
9i is ready for development playing around in 6-8 months, production no
earlier than 12-18 months is my estimation.

>>>Tracy - Is there any possibility of upgrading these databases to
Oracle8i,or even better 9i before you implement 24X7? Oracle is claiming new
featuresin 9i will support 24X7. I would also imagine that if you could
bring alldatabases up to the same level, it would be easier to establish
policies.For 7.3.4, you might need to do something entirely different. Also
there isa book "Oracle 24x7 Tips and Techniques" by Venkat S. Devraj, but
thepublishing date was 1999, so the information may be dated.Dennis

ORACLE-LWe currently have 15+ databases (7.3.4 & 8i using IBM
AIX and HACMP) that donot have a 24x7 restriction. Now,
management is looking to bring in newproducts that will need to be
24X7. They are looking for costs to determinethe viability of such a
decision. I have no 24x7 experience and am lookingforideas or
options to consider. [At least initially they are stating
therecanbe no downtime for maintenance (upgrades/reorgs)]--
