RE: WHICH UNIX FOR ORACLE?

True... but we had no one here to support it... granted I would love to learn how but I was slated to be the dba and developer on the project, I couldn't take on a third role too (that is completely new to me)

Besides anything non-Windows would be out of my hands in production. Which IRKS THE CRAP out of me.

Welcome to my (frustrating) job
