Re: Linux -v- NT for 8.0.5 + OAS 4.0.7 + Apache/IIS ??

Hi,

You really don't say much about expected load or what type of applications you will be running on your system....

BUT from my experience, apache with mod-perl (and/or jserv) and mod-ssl are an awesome combination and FREE. Mod-perl gives you outstanding speed due to "java servlet" type functionality (perl modules are complied once, and held in memory, eliminates IO and constant db re-connectons ). You just need to be GNU savy and know a little bit about "make" files to get all the apache modules installed and configured correctly...

You're right, PL/SQL is some yucky stuff, BUT the OAS4.x version is, I think, moving in the java/corba/EJB direction very quickly, and would not be a bad direction to move in also.... it is the future,--and oracle will hold your hand all the way to the bank.

If you are fairly perl/apache savy and don't have a super mission critical/intensive application, you may want to stand up apache with mod-perl + jserv + DBI + mod-ssl for the short/medium term. But keep an eye on Oracle corba (OAS), ultimately I think it holds the key to performance/functionality... right now, I think it would just eat up your resources without a true need...
