huh? what is the information feed for this? I have many clients that are successfully running Oracle both in the horizontal and vertical space. The Province of Quebec project with at that time 150 Oracle servers is well documented and received an award at SHARE. Other clients are using fewer but larger Oracle machines. As a matter of fact in many ways sliding Oracle into System z is smoother and handles workload better than other applications. linux and Oracle are a major pleasure spot in z/VM. David

The question comes about because.... My management is hearing that when people move servers over to the Z under Linux they are mostly moving servers that have very little usage already and that databases like Oracle are staying put on the other platforms such as Solaris in my case, giving them the impression that the z/Linux cannot handle this. I know there are some situations where this may be true but I do not believe on a whole this is necessarily true. What do you think! Thanks, Terry
