Re: How to deploy a 24hrs , 7 days a week kind of database environment?

Hey Frank, I believe Martin was being Sarcastic (but not too far off the truth). Actually, I got a kick out of his post. Actually, as a consultant, I would never put a 24x7 database, which can't afford down time, on an NT system. Even Microsoft's web servers are on UNIX boxes. It is a known fact that NT boxes have to be "bounced" more times than a Unix server. As far as "Big Databases" on an NT platform, will I have to know what is your definition of "big". Also, I have heard no negative experiences of running a "big" database on an NT box, so I can't comment on that.

Anyway Frank...A little humor is not bad, just because we work with computers doesn't mean we are one. ;)
