RE: 64bit advantages

Handily a certain other RDBMS vendor, one based in Redmond, had a front page story in the UK computer press on how 64 bit RDBMS software will make databases larger than 6GB go faster.

Not so fortunately the editorial in the same issue described this as garbage, um sorry, that last bit should read 'irrelevant to the needs of nearly all user organisations'

So there you are if your database is larger than 6GB you need to buy new hardware and software now. Or perhaps not :(

P.S. You probably want RAC as well :(
