Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Opinions request - Oracle on WIN2K vs Unix
It is not a switch, small new applications go on SQL Server/Win2k, new big
applications are still going to Oracle-AIX.
My idea is if you have scalability problem with Win2K-Oracle then you just move the DB to an AIX box. Things you can not do with Sql Server. We may already face a problem in Sql Server, one table will be many millions of rows quite soon, we'll how it goes.

Stephane,
Maybe you have the same arrangement at your shop where the Microsoft marketing guys sleep at the feet of the CIO like a puppy.
Curious why the switch from AIX-Oracle to SQL Server. I would think the porting costs would have eaten into the so called savings.
