I absolutely agree.

A few years back I built a near terabyte (893MB) Oracle database on an Amdahl with six CPUs and disks arrays that NT can only dream about. Based on that experience I think trying it on NT would be suicidal. In fact, based on my experience I might even suggest doing it on an NCR Teradata machine if I cared at all about performance.

And yes you can run Oracle with, and on, and in conjunction with, Teradata.
