I would like to bring another angle to this debate.
I have used Oracle on Solaris since 1992 without a hitch. I have used
Oracle on Sparc 1 to ultra sparc 4400 with 12 processors. Never had
much problems. Before that I have run it on AT&T UNIX large scale
servers without any difficulties.
I have also worked in shops where the clients had AIX and VMS running
Oracle and I did not hear much problems there either.
I had a person working for me who used to support Oracle on a HP and
constantly had problems with one thing or the other. Sometime it was
hardware and sometime it was software. I am sure HP may have some
problems but they can not be so bad, otherwise they would be out of
business.
So my point is, it all depends on who is doing the job. If you know
what you are doing and do the job right, even if there are some
problems, you can make the system run fairly trouble free.
