Hi everyone -
I have been asked to do the database planning for a fairly large data warehouse. The warehouse is currently in Sybase and is about 160 GB. They are planning to move to Oracle very soon.
My questions - does it make more sense to spin it up on 8.1.7 or 9? (This will be a pretty good size Solaris machine). Are there newer features in 9i that would really benefit them? I am looking at partitioning tables and using some bit-mapped indexes - something they don't have today. I was originally looking at 8.1.7, but now that 9 has been around for a little bit, I'm wondering if any of you have some advice (good or bad) regarding version 9.
Any and all comments are appreciated.
Thanks -
lisa
