Hi,

I've just migrated a medium size datawarehouse across to Oracle 8.0.3 on IBM's AIX 4.1.5. All *seems* OK. However, some folks at one of our sister sites is of the opinion that Oracle 8 is not yet 'solid' enough for production datawarehouses...

Anyone out their with some real experience of using Oracle 8 in a datawarehouse of over 100 million rows? What do you think of Oracle 8. What are the pros/cons? Any bugs which you have found? Given the choice, would you stay with Oracle 7.3? Etc., etc.

Many thanks for any info. you can supply.
