Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Reasons to upgrade from Oracle 7.3.4 to 8i
Dear gurus !
I know it's a "beaten to death horse", but...
I want to convince a customer to upgrade their OPS 7.3.4 DB to an Oracle
8.1.7 OPS or even (in a best case for me) to Oracle9i RAC (don't even know
whether or not one exists and is supported for Digital UNIX on EMC Symmetrix
storage).
I am sure this has been discussed 1000s of times here , but ... i need the
arguments to convince them.
I can't tell them "upgrade because 8.1.7 delivers better performance ,
availability etc...and 7.3.4 is outdated" , they simply won't buy it.
They run that OPS 7.3.4 DB for several years now and are quite happy with
it.
I need to explain in details why they should invest in the upgrade.
Now , the only real reason i can think of is partitioning . They will
definetly benefit from it.
I need more reasons.
Thanks a lot in advance.
