Hello,
I am looking for information on the use of large databases utilizing on of the following software packages:
- Ingres
- Oracle
- Sybase
- Informix
- Focus
- Rdb
We need a system capable of handling a database between 150 and 200 gigabytes in size. Every month 1.5 million records will be added to the system via a batch process. The database will hold 5 years online data.
Online access to the system will be READ ONLY. This implies online transaction processing is not a concern. Currently we are projecting a maximum of 40-50 users online at any point in time.
The server hardware is unknown at this point. We are looking into 2 possible operating systems, VMS or Unix.
The clients will need to run on PC's under Windows 3.1 or possibly Windows-NT.
- Questions --
- Will any of the above databases handle the size mentioned?
- If you are working with a database of this size, what hardware is in use?
Thanks
Nick Shanny
