I watch the markets
and trends concerning Oracle and often will forward articles to management and
the VP's, sort of their "view from the field".
For a long time I've
not heard a lot on Windows 2000, and then this came up in the Jan 29, eWeek,
P61. I thought this paragraph would be of interest to Solaris
users.
"Growing Up
Slowly"
"Windows 2000
certainly is much more reliable than past versions of Windows. Sum of the eWeek
Labs' Windows 2000 systems have been up for almost five months now without a
reboot (nothing special in the Unix world, and the irony of Microsoft's current
Windows 2000 ads loudly high-lighting the poor design of the company's previous
versions of Windows is not lost to anyone.)"
Now I will usually
say the right server for the job, and I do have a client or two with NT servers
that may well run 150-200+ days with out a reboot, but maybe this is one of the
reasons it's not going that strongly.
Do we have any good
stories of Production databases on Win2000 servers? Were there any that had to
fall back to NT?
