RE: OAS and iAS file size comparisons

Another thing to keep in mind with 9iAS (in relation to its size) is it's caching capabilities. How do you think it keeps all that information cached?? Replication. 9iAS also comes with and installs the Oracle database engine in addition to everything else. When you select certain options for caching, it automatically performs data replication from the database server for you. That's probably a huge part of the size of 9iAS in and of itself.

Everything but the kitchen sink...... 9iAS includes Apache, Forms Server, Reports Server, Portal, DB Cache, Discoverer Server, Queue Manager, Wireless if you want it, and possibly others I've left out. Consider yourself lucky if you only had 2 CDs, we (Solaris) had 3.....

OAS 4.0.8.2 for NT was 121M in size, zipped.

iAS for NT is two CDs in size, 569,609K + 403,131K.

What did they put in this new version that is so HUGE?

Unbelievable.

How big will Oracle 9i be, I wonder.
