Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: multi threaded server on NT?
Phil et al,
Oracle8 does support MTS for NT. Normally, MTS isn't really needed since we already have a true multi-threaded RDBMS. However, we have a few customers who are pushing a few thousand connections to a single NT instance, and in those cases, MTS is necessary. Without it, the RDBMS process runs out of address space due to the high number of threads running in it.
Hope this clarifies matters.
