- I just posted the following message, just to see that the posting
- front end ate away my host.
- So here we go again.
- Sorry for the bother.

- Hello net friends:
-
- I have a question that perhaps many of you can answer:
-
- Picture the following situation: a network of about 150 PCs (banyan Vines
- network, Compaq 3/486, windows 3.1, ...)
- Most of the PC need access to some common data bases taht will be
- implemented in Oracle.
-
- The question then is: Oracle for which Operating system / environment
- / machine?
-
- The choices are basically between installing Oracle under DOS, OS/2,
- Vines (is it possible????), or Unix.
- I presume that Unix should provide faster response to queries (coming
- from the PC's, through OracleCard or similar), but does any of you
- have any practical experience and/or numbers to support my guess?
-
- Thank you in advance.
