Re: Largest Oracle8 on NT box?

Hello,

The size of the database doesn't matter, what matters is the processes that you'll be running against it. You can kill 100m database with one "BAD" query. I personally ran Oracle Financial and Manufacturing R10.7SC on NT 4.0 - HP Net Server (1GB RAM, 2x450 CPU, 10x9GB HD) (~3000 tables, ~5000 stored objects, 150 concurrent. users + 50 over WAN, 4 concurrent managers). all I can say - I don't recommend it to anyone - Dr. Watson almost every day. You'll ask why - too much processing, not too big - the database was only 12GB. I bet you can run DSS 100GB or more on NT and never have any problems, because Oracle Database by it self is very stable, what's killing NT is a heavy processing (user exits written in C, reports etc.) That's my experience on this matter.
