All
I wonder if anyone out there has faced the same dilemma as I am facing
currently. Our database is likely to grow to a couple of Tera bytes. The
existing hardware is Sun E6500 (8 Gig RAM and 10 CPUs) running SunOs 2.6
and Oracle 8.1.5. There is suspicion amongst certain hard core Tera Data
fans that Oracle can't do the following:
Start schema in Oracle is not suitable for datawarehouses.
Oracle is not scalable to deal with Tera bytes databases.
Oracle partitioning is not good enough to do the job.
I feel that Oracle has been working fine on a Sun box with about 200-300
Gig of data.
What is the price/performance of say a Sun Box vs Tera Data. I am sure
there is a huge difference.
I appreciate your valuable thoughts.
Regards
Surjit
