Re: performance of Oracle 8.x on HPUX, NT?

IMHO oracle is faster on unix than on NT because of the implementation. It seems that each sessions on NT is threaded, on unix for each session you have a server process.

One major difference between the 2 OS, I noticed that Unix is much more stable, I used to do benchmarks on our products I have never had a crash on unix.

For benchmarking tool you can use QA load, I think it is expansive but it is the only one I know.
