You got a point there.. It would have been to their benefit though if they had to design a client on non MS OS's considering that a sizeable number of mid size corporate databases are on MS-SQL these days.

Your response is actually encouraging, because we’re going to be switching over to Linux with the remote Oracle database. Hopefully we’ll have better luck there… Lyle From:Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Joe DeSouza Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 7:20 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARS 7.1 server group issue ** Its a known issue where ARS on Windows connected to a Remote Oracle database, takes forever to recache and that it takes forever to restart if the services have been stopped and is restarted. This is because of the way that data is read in chunks of 100 rows. It is as designed and Remedy has nothing to do with the design as its more how the Oracle client communicates to remote oracle databases when the client is on Windows.. I didn't experience the kinds of problems you are talking about on UNIX ARS Servers connected to remote Oracle databases. So I guessed your configurations by the symptoms you described. Unfortunately you got to live with it unless you decide to move to UNIX.
