g'day eh? i would be interested in getting some information of experience in the installation, configuration and problems encountered in the implementation of a gigabyte size ( or thereabouts ) Oracle system. a potential client is looking into setting up a system for around 2000 users, running Sql*Forms, either connected directly into the host or over a network using some other machine as a client side. the machines, in my estimation, capable of coming anywhere near this level of performace would be top of the line Blue Boxes ( 3090's or their newer thangs) or a multi processor Vax 9000. in either case, would Sql*Net run over a hardware tomfoolery such as a backplane channel attach, or a box utilizing content addressable memory help. the actual size of the project is still under definition, but one cut shows a table containing 60 million records. sorry, no attribution information. thanks in advance, barry -- ~~~~~~~ ..walkin on the beaches, lookin at the peaches

From what I understand there aren't too many Oracle systems running on top of MVS. If you hear of one, let me know. If you hear of one that is experiencing good performance, let me know. The literature claims one is only limited by the size of available storage; what is the biggest Oracle database that anyone has heard of? -- Alan Beal Internet: beal@paladin.Owego.NY.US USENET: {uunet,uunet!bywater!scifi}!paladin!beal

The largest Oracle databases are running under Unix on Amdahl, Sequent, and Pyramid machines. Right at this very moment, the absolute largest Oracle user is running on Sequent computers, in a client/server network fashion. This user is largest in both the size of database (large number of Gigs), and number of users (low thousands). > > >-- >Alan Beal >Internet: beal@paladin.Owego.NY.US >USENET: {uunet,uunet!bywater!scifi}!paladin!beal -- Mark Sweiger Sequent Computer Systems Database Software Engineer 15450 SW Koll Parkway Office: (503)578-4329 Beaverton, Oregon 97006-6063 FAX: (503)578-7569 sweiger@sequent.com

When starting to produce large databases with top performance, perhaps it would benefit to look into the Teradata DBC/1012. The DBC (Data Base Computer) is specifically designed as a database engine capable of storing over 1 Terabyte of data, and its multiple processor architecture produces fast response time. The DBC can interface to a variety of hosts running a variety of Operating Systems either directly channel connected or LAN connected. The DBC itself executes its own Teradata Operating System. In addition, the DBC has fault tolerant capabilities, i.e. if a disk, processor or other hardware component fails, the DBC remains operational. -- ||| Pat Alvarado | v Teradata Corporation | tdat!pa1@suntzu.sun.com /\ /\ 100 N.
