We are setting up a networked UniVerse Windows 2008 server for future use and coming from a long line of 'Nix processing systems I have some questions about how database administration is handled from those that use a Windows system. The users will all be entered through the network so I know I won't have to worry about doing that any more but what about the other things like file administration? I already know that there is no spooler anymore. Do you use the UniAdmin much or is everything done from the command line? Do you use a separate database administrator login to do database administration or do you have to be the system administrator? The network administrator wants to, understandably, lock the system down as tightly as possible without shutting down the business so how far do you go? When resizing files do they carry the same properties over or do they have to be reset? For those that have moved from Linux to Windows, did you have to change any configuration settings? I tested a short program that was recently bench marked by several people on this list, building a dynamic array, and I was really surprised by the difference in the speed between the various times reported and also my own testing of our current Linux server and the new Windows server (0.6 seconds as opposed to 35 minutes). I reported the difference to my VAR and they sent the results on the IBM. I'm thinking, hoping, that we will just need to change some of the environment variables. I know I can ask my VAR these questions but I want to get more of a consensus from the list.
Please let's not get caught up in the 'Nix/Windows battle J.
