Re: onmonitor and NT
Meet the problem, benchmark comparison between the big m$, O and Informix. I have one up on the other dba, I know my data better than he does, I also know how informix eats it up. I'll win this no problem, but the biggest argument is going to be 'no pretty gui' demnation. brett Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > > In the year of Our Lord Mon, 18 Dec 2000 17:16:54 +0200, Brett Geer > <brett@brabys.co.za> broke a vow of silence to utter: > > >Anyone know when the commandline challenged of us are going > >to get onmonitor for NT? > > > >Don't anyone say iecc > > My best guess is "never". > > ISA? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brett's 10th law of UNIX administration... rm is forever ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brett Geer - UNIX Admin/Analyst/Programmer - Intratex Holdings.

Just a couple of things to watch out for: 1. MS caches *result* *sets*, not data -- so if you run the same query twice, it is *unbelievably* quick the second time. 2. Oracle salesmen are *very* good, and will do things like _give_ you the software, then screw it all back out of you in training, maintenance and services. You will probably also have to do a hardware upgrade. Watch out for the hidden costs and the learning curve. Oracle sells at the business level, they consider IT a commodity and can be *very* expensive in the long term. 3. What is the front-end that you're going to use? If VB with ADO, then make sure you have more than 1 CPUVP (the more, the better). I don't know why, but it makes a *huge* difference.
