    choice perfomance for DB servers

    Hi Friends,

    If you have a budget of US$200K, and the management ask you to
    cite/propose a good performing database server for a new application,
    what would be your choice of preference?

    Thanks a lot

    Hi Kris

    How about Mysql ;-)

    Hoenstly very difficult until you test your application against these different databases .

    Based on your budget rule out high cost dbmses and then test your applications against the dbms thats within your budget.The one which is within your budget and matches your performance requirement is the winner.

    Look for db2 sybase sql server mysql etc which are cheaper then oracle..


    regards

    No my friend, what i mean is the hardware we have already
    bought Oracle license for 100 users. I want a good computer
    +OS for our database server.

    We have a budget of 200K USD, so what can we buy with it.

    Thanks

    Is this the same company which was going to pay you to upgrade to 9.2.0.5. The you were going to turn around and charge them again to upgrade to 9.2.0.6?
    Oracle it's not just a database it's a lifestyle!

    It doesnt really concerned with storage, type of apps, concurrent
    usrs, how much work to do You can assume any parameters
    for the above. like bench marking (equal footing).
    Its primarily concerned with the computing power of the hardware.

    How are you going to know what hardware you are going to buy if you dont know how many users, how much work is going on, how much storage you need how much redundancy you want.

    Ill make it easy for you, find a machine which costs 200K and buy it as you have no idea what your actual requirements are anyway

    I truely fear for your company / client

    Nahh...I was not able to upgrade it :( I was confused with their
    set-up. When I log-in to the server They got 3 oracle home for
    3 database . The dont have "oracle" user but orabea, orasap, oraprod.
    And its funny coz when i tried to shutdown each intance, it says
    im connected to an idle instance. while the 3 are all up. and when
    I started and instnce, it says that there is a invalid init.ora
    parameter read. Maybe they are starting their database wilth
    the hardcode pfile=blah blah option.
