Re: Informix to Oracle Migration
Short exchange in an Informix to Oracle migration thread. Obnoxio The Chav disputed an earlier claim by DA Morgan. Mark Townsend said a cluster of 4x2 64-bit PowerPC CPUs with 8GB RAM each and 5TB disk for under 35K was interesting, and Serge Rielau noted RAC licences for 8 CPUs were also interesting pricewise. No technical migration advice.

Wrong, as usual. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche "I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't get my head up my ass" - JCH "Ogni uomo mi guarda come se fossi una testa di cazzo" - Marco Travel broadens a person. You look as if you have been all over the world. I went to the airport to check in and they asked what I did because I looked like a terrorist. I said I was a comedian. They said, "Say something funny then." I told them I had just graduated from flying school. -- Ahmed Ahmed http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/Obnoxio/thinkIfoundtheproblem.jpg sending to informix-list

And the storage is way cool. All vendor rhetoric aside, I think Apple are onto something here, and I wish them all success.
