Re: Is it a good idea to run Oracle on Intel/NT?

We have a 20G Oracle 8.0.5/NT which run 24X7. We use RAID 10, two controllers etc,etc. It runs fine although I am a UNIX person. If it was my money I would go UNIX however if you are trying to standardise the NT then it does work I know many people have many opinions on this subject and mine is only one of many
