There is an app on the clients that is installed in the base. According to the friend I have there, it is "just a basic warehouse app".

Chris,

Is this box going to be delicated for the Oracle database? No canned apps running against it?

Hi everyone,

I need a sanity check. I was asked via email by a friend what the amount of RAM on an HP9000 (hpux) should be considering the following:

# of bases on server: 1
Total size of base: Roughly 1G
Total number of users: 8-12
Not a datawarehouse, no options like parallel server or anything and a canned app on the front.

Oracle version 8i enterprise edition.

My reply was that it was a very rough estimate, but I would think that 500M was sufficient for the machine and that Oracle would take up 300M in the SGA
or so.

I get a reply that their DBA said at least 1.5 g memory or more. Now I have
4 bases on one HP-ux server that total 20+ gig space and over 100 users and the Machine has 750M total memory for bases, processes and all. They run just fine. Fast response and all.

Am I just out in left field here? I know it isn't easy sizing a server with
basically no information by phone, but I thought (given the parameters) that
500M was a decent estimate. Anyone?
