Linux is as stable as HP-UX and Solaris. If you want to roll your own using a non-certified Linux distro for Oracle or as an enterprise o/s, then you only have yourself to blame. (and yes, I'm running non-certified distros too using Oracle 9i, Oracle iDir, and JBOSS (with current uptime of over 152 days - it was last bounced due to a powerfailure as its not connected to the UPS). Many people's experiences with Linux is based on ignorance - and so are their comments. I once had to do an export of two production schemas and import these into into a new instance on a new platform. The developers neglected to tell me that they were using public synonyms (not my orginal database - they also had sysdba access) and views based on these public synonyms. So the production stuff was broken on the new instance. As a result they thought that synonyms and views were a problem in Oracle and simply stopped using them at all in new developments. Until I found out and managed to fix their perceptions. I classify the statement that "Linux is not stable" in that same category. Pure ignorance. -- Billy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This e-mail and its contents are subject to the Telkom SA Limited e-mail legal notice available at http://www.telkom.co.za/TelkomEMailLegalNotice.PDF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- http://www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
