Re: ORACLE ON NT SERVER vs. UNIX

Was this UnixWare or OpenServer, as SCO own both now?

UW was generally reported as being faster. One result I recall seeing was UW 2.1 , Solaris 2.5, OpenServer 5, NT 3.51 all under Oracle 7. The difference was of the order of ~40% between first and last, and about 20% between UW and Solaris. NT4 might be faster.

Also you should remember that you can dial into a UNIX shell account over a modem and fix things remotely in an emergency.

Its is. Its a better cookie cutter for many things. And to learn deep unix is probably no worse than deep NT. There is no single perfect OS solution.
