Julie-

Just curious, why not go to 8.1.6 since 8.1.5 death spiral has been = announced already? 8.1.5 has its share of bugs, reviews on 8.1.6 are = fairly sparse but so far not bad.

We are going from Oracle 7.3.4 to Oracle 8.1.5 mainly because I don't want the hassle in a year or two of having to upgrade the database from 8 to = 8i.
I will say in terms of the OS, go with Solaris. I've installed both = Solaris
and HP-UX, and I like Solaris much better. I really can't say that = Solaris
is faster or more robust than HP-UX, but it sure is easier for me to work with. That may be because I'm more used to Solaris, though.

Dear ALL !=20

My company and me are about to decide to go either for Oracle8 or Oracle8i = .
It's an absolutely new Internet application , so no migration is needed - = we
are starting from scratch .
I'm interested in all the inputs , especially in terms of performance , stability & easiness of maintenance , to compare the two versions . We are planning for thousands of concurrent users & a very high queries/second rate , although the queries promise to be pretty light selects .
The O/S be Sun UNIX (or may be HP-UX , we haven't decide about this either :-) .
Any input will be VERY appreciated .
Thanks a lot in advance .
