Hello, We are in the process of reviewing our installation of DSpace (currently 1.4 running with postgres on a single server). DSpace seems to be a pretty good fit to move to our webfarm away from a single server architecture (we're thinking 1.7 with oracle) but we have a few questions we'd like answers too before we make a decision one way or another.
If anyone could help with the questions below either with direct experience/knowledge or pointers to documentation I'd be very grateful and apologies for the number of questions all in one post! - How many people run DSpace using an oracle backend and how easy is it to set up and maintain; are there any constraints with using oracle instead of the native postgres? - Does anyone have experience of migrating a DSpace postgres db to oracle and if so are they're any gotchas that we need to be aware of? - Does anyone have a recommended upgrade path from 1.4 -> 1.7 on fresh servers with a different db. Is a clean install better than a step install from a copy? - And finally, does anyone have any experience with running DSpace on a clustered environment and what things should we be aware of? Many thanks in advance for any advice, Claire -- Claire Webster (nee Lumber) Systems Analyst/Developer University of Bristol Email: [email protected] Tel: (0117) 331 6739 (internal: 16739) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
