Hi,

more a philosophical question:

I'm wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of running Oracle UNIX like (many processes / shared memory / ipc ....) or NT like (one process / multithreaded).
AFAIK, UNIX is better at handling large numbers of processes and NT is better (is it ?) at handling multithreading. Any comments ? Why is Oracle designed like it is on UNIX / NT ?
