Re: Help with dificult migration problem

Hi.
 here is a very short checklist to consider:

1. How many people are going to develop the project? NT is more crash prone that Unix, so your environment is less stable.
2. Are you going to need new features of 8i ( vs 734 ):
   • partitions
   • index based indexes etc. You may be able to postpone implementing these on 734, but they may make your development effort much easier.
3. Do you have good NT admin ( backup/restore etc.)? I suppose that everithing is already set on Unix.
4. Do you have 3-Gl language code ( Pro*C/Cobol )? In that case you may expect problems developing on NT and moving the code later to Unix. If it's straight VB/Developer/PLSQL project - I do it all the time (develope some code on NT and deploy it on Unix).

 HTH. Michael.
