Jack,

How big were you're intermedia indexes on this DB. We have a DB with 50GB's (and growing 1Gb per week) of Word docs stored as long raw that we are planning to use Intermedia with.

Daniel,

At the company I recently left, we had a 340GB 8.1.7 DB under Win2k that
made heavy use of interMedia Text.
There are about 15 million CLOB documnets in several partitioned and unpartitioned tables, all indexed using iMT.

We migrated from 8.1.6.0.0, where we'd been for almost two years, to 8.1.7.2.5 and ran for about 3 months with no significant problems. We upgraded to 8.1.7.3.0 about a month ago and had no problems with that version either.

All tablespaces are LMTs - except System, of course. No problems. In
fact the iMT indexing and re-sync'ing seems to be faster now than ever.
Oh, and we maintained a Standby DB in Managed Recovery mode as well.

Maybe we were just lucky.

Jack

We have been requested to create an 8.1.7.3 database for an Intermedia text project. After seeing the postings about the instability of 8.1.7.3, I'm leary of installing it on a server with other dbs on it. The available machines don't have sufficient memory (may be able to upgrade), so we're considering installing on 8.1.7.2.

What is your experience with Intermedia Text and 8.1.7.2? I've checked oracle sources and don't find a specific patch level requirement.

Cheers & Regards
