- When installing Oracle v6 on a Sun, does anyone have any particular gotchas to watch out for? We will want to transfer a v5 DOS Oracle database to the Sun. We didn't do the DOS install, so it will be our first Oracle installation.
- I'm having a hard time getting a straight answer from our local Oracle rep on this. When using SQL*ReportWriter from a DOS client, what kind of workload balance is there between the client and the Sun server? (We aren't writing any embedded SQL commands for now). When doing a query, will the client form it in such a way that all the work is done on the server or will a lot of intermediate data get sent back to the client for processing there? We are concerned about LAN bridge bandwidth limitations (19.2K bps) to remote sites and client processing power (mostly '286).
- What alternative report generation programs would you recommend? Besides basic reports, there will be some need for trend analysis in future.
Thanks,
