Hi, All!
Might happen that we will choose a different client application which is
built on Btrieve API and eventually requires a Btrieve backend. We are
running Oracle 8.0.5 now. I've found some information about binding Btrieve
and Oracle but couldn't really find any description of different concerns
and possible problems. So, here I am.
My own concerns are :
- is Btrieve/Pervasive able to store tables and manage indexes of the
tables of 40-50 mln records (20-40 columns) in multi-user environment. The
current nature of an application is as follows: several processes are
working extensively on importing, querying, modifying and making heavy
calculations on the data. And, yes, some of the tables are 40 mln records. I
am not really sure about new application, but I believe, architecture will
be the same (or similar).
- Should I expect any productivity decrease under the conditions stated
above after switching to Btrieve/Pervasive
- Can anybody mention any benefits (I'm aware about the price quotes
difference).
- I know it's not quite correct to compare full-flavored server database
such as Oracle and desktop like database like Btrieve, but, I believe this
is not completely in my power to cancel management directives.
- If you think of any info I haven't asked above but which you may think
might be useful for me (vow!) just let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Ilya.
