Re: oracle on nt vs. netware

I have worked with both NT and Netware since Oracle 7.1, and I have to concurr. The support on NT is better than on Netware. That is not saying that NT is a better platform. My experience is that NetWare is a better platform if you run your server as a Database server, not as a shared database/file-server. I believe the throughput is better. If things go wrong and you need help from Oracle support, you may have a problem.
