RE: 9i standby

Brian,

They didn't actually say what hardware they ran on other than "Compaq". There was a little discussion about this after the actual presentation with other attendees also, but I shouldn't get too worried about de-support of this solution at all. The actual day was an Oracle/Compaq release day (with Compaq sponsoring), and they both seem to be working really well together to get this done.

Even if they do write the Alpha chip off - do you really think that they would not first bundle the software in to an intel chip? :) In my opinion that is the sole reason they bought Digital out huh?

Still learning all this though, and have a fair bit of reading to do I guess.. :)

Mark -

I saw the same presentation @ IOUG. Do you recall if they were running on the
Compaq Alphas? A few days ago I recall someone saying that they would be wary
of Oracle continuing support for Oracle on the Alpha chip, since Compaq has pretty much written it off.
