Re: Oracle performance on different unixes

Tony,

I have HP unix servers (5) and DEC unix server (1) running various flavours of Oracle from 734 to 817 and performance varies dramatically over each box.
As stated by another poster, perfromance is based on many things - discs, network etc and even how the discs are configured. My HP boxes can build a database in about half an hour if it is 734, but if I change the Oracle version to 805 then the same (4gb) database takes the best part of the afternoon to create the tablespaces. Even a small tablespace of 100Mb takes much longer on 805 than on 734.

Difficult to make a sound judgment really. Howver, tuning *does* have to be considered when performance is an issue - and that starts with the application, the OS, the discs and the network etc (oh, and eventually Oracle !)

Good luck.

Norman.

I am after performance of oracle on AIX 4.3, HP Ux 11 and Solaris 8. Which of the above Unix has the best performance (no performance tuning) ?
If anyone has some ideas, please let me know. Thanks.
