Is this just a rumour, or is it true? I thought Oracle wrote their rdbms software on SunOS, then ported it to other platforms. Is Oracle in the process of changing this? What happened? Is this related to the MetaLink problems they had over a month ago?

Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX. I am bias to Solaris as I am acustom to it, but with the change in direction of Oracle, I am considering HP-UX, and due to the cost and performance benefits of AiX, I am also looking there. So in answer, I really don't know. I would like to say Sun but I don't think they would be my best choice.

I am starting a new company, I am going to be building a platform which will use Oracle database as it's infrastructure. It will be a very large application and environment If all goes well. It will take about a year from start to finish till I will attempt to be live. I am debating about using 9i or sticking with 8.1.7. Since it will be in development, I am comfortable within a year 9i should just be about stable, and would be nice to already be on it's features, specially it's OPS features. And not have to worry about the big move over (and probably costly) in the future. During development it would be easy to have 8.1.7 and 9i side by side just in case something crops ups and hinders our path. Anyone have anything bad to say about that idea?
