What about 1) OOP support 2) Java support Regards Savio
-----Original Message----- Sent: Montag, 19. August 2002 15:33 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear gurus ! I know it's a "beaten to death horse", but... I want to convince a customer to upgrade their OPS 7.3.4 DB to an Oracle 8.1.7 OPS or even (in a best case for me) to Oracle9i RAC (don't even know whether or not one exists and is supported for Digital UNIX on EMC Symmetrix storage). I am sure this has been discussed 1000s of times here , but ... i need the arguments to convince them. I can't tell them "upgrade because 8.1.7 delivers better performance , availability etc...and 7.3.4 is outdated" , they simply won't buy it. They run that OPS 7.3.4 DB for several years now and are quite happy with it. I need to explain in details why they should invest in the upgrade. Now , the only real reason i can think of is partitioning . They will definetly benefit from it. I need more reasons. Thanks a lot in advance.
