Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Oracle on NT vs UNIX for a Warehouse
Since I'm more or less going to be in the same situation, I'd like to know if you have any specific advice as to hardware specs. for the NT machine (RAM, HD, etc...)
Also, what about user limitations (i.e. how many users/requests can it serve at one time? Assuming the results don't get bigger than 3 Mb.
Thanks
Serge
