Paul - What is the base of experience in this shop? Is it primarily an NT shop and the Unix system is the odd one, or is it primarily a Unix shop and the NT conversion would be a first plunge? Everything I hear depends primarily on this factor. Most indications are that the Unix systems tend to be more reliable, but there are strong NT shops that seem to keep their NT reliability up, and would struggle with the odd Unix system. I assume that you are really talking Windows 2000 at this point. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a client whose management is requesting us to make a business case for keeping our Oracle on UNIX rather than on NT. I wonder if anyone can link to or provide any of the following on this subject: * whitepapers * platform selection papers * pro/con summaries to management, no matter how informal Please help in any way you can, thanks in advance, Paul --- www.pythian.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 877-PYTHIAN Smarter than adding another team member, Pythian has new services for supplementing DBAs: get our help with monitoring, 24x7 on-call, daily verifications, storage management, performance and more. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Paul Vallee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
