RE: SharePlex Summary

[Mladen Gogala]

Title: Message

No penalty. HP-UX is 64-bit os running on a 64-bit chip. Why would 64 bits impose any

penalty? Running 64 bits is what comes naturally. Running 64 bits means that sizeof(void *) will return 8 instead of 4.

That, in turn, means that SGA can grow much bigger because you don't have 4G limit and that your files can grow

extremely big. If anything, 64 bit is much faster, because it can calculate with much bigger int's and  doubles.

Hopefully, your box has PA 8600 init and not Itanic. If latter is the case, I have no idea whatsoever about what you

might expect. On the other hand, who will ever need more then 640K RAM?

Subject: SharePlex Summary

First thanks to every one who responded both on the list and to my private email:

The consensus appeared to be:
1.  SharePlex is overly expensive for the functionality delivered and
2.  Oracle has caught up in 9i for much of the functionality
3.  Some features of Oracle like IOT's may present some problems.

We are on HPUX and 9i is 64 bit only on that platform.  I have been told that the 64bit code imposes a 20 - 25% performance penalty vs the 32 bit version of 8.1.7.  Can anyone address this from experience?
