Re: native Oracle-port on Linux -- what would it take?

From: Bjorn Borud <borud_at_guardian.no> >> I have yet to desire raw devices for using Oracle and I certainly have never needed to run Oracle Parallel server. if I would ever need to run it I would certainly not do it on a PC.

I was told by an Oracle official that Oracle had a version that could run OPS on NT without needing Microsoft/Tanden's Wolfpack which is ( I think) not yet available for commercial use. This would seem to imply that Oracle seems to think that there will be a market for OPS on the PC platform. I have customers that have application that are too big for a one cpu machine, but that really do not justify the cost of a 'server' machine from Pyramid, Dec, HP, Sun, etc.... OPS on a couple of PC's may just be the answer.
