I wish. I'm going from V6->V7, and V7 uses about 700KB more memory per user, which = around 20MB on my 32 user system.
One way to get the memory down would be to use the multi-threaded server aspect of V7, but that requires SQL-NET. Since I'm not in a networked env, I don't have it now and would need to purchase it. Turns out that it costs TWICE as much as a fully loaded new computer system!!!! I'll probably end up with a new system instead.
It's incredible that Oracle forces us to upgrade, touts the wonders of MTS, and then makes us buy additional products such as SQL-NET which have NOTHING to do with the kernel functionality in order to even run it!!! I'm gonna think long and hard whenever recomending Oracle to a client! Received on Wed Aug 10 1994 - 18:45:00 CEST
