We recently switched from Oracle 7.3.4 on Netware to Oracle 8.0.5 on NT. The
hardware of the server has remained the same. Ever since, accessing the database by ODBC-clients seems considerably slower than before. Does anybody
have an idea why Oracle 8 on NT could be much slower than version 7.3 on

Netware?

Could this be caused by running SQL*NET on top of TCP/IP (NT networking protocol) in stead of IPX/SPX (Novell Netware protocol)? If so, are there any
known methods to optimize TCP/IP settings?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
