That is what I would recommend too. We almost did that but the opposite way before we went live with 8.0. Our DBAs recommended we move to Oracle. We had a RAC instance built and a new RHEL app server but there just wasn't enough time to keep the project moving and change infrastructure. Darn, guess we'll have to stay on SQL Server (although I was looking forward to having Linux apps servers).
