From what I know, Oracle8 is not yet
formally certified on Win2K, believe it
or not. But, I could be way wrong about this.
Anecdotally, I have colleagues running every
from clients through Net8 Names Servers to
database servers on Win2K. Typical Win2K uptime,
about..well, since they plugged it in, several
months ago.
Punchline: As a migration from NT4, NT5 (i.e. Win2K)
is noticeably better in terms of stability and
performance. If you asked me to compare Win2K and
current version AIX, i'd pick the latter.

Subject: (Win2K vs NT4) / RE: OT RE: Async I/O on Windows
Ross & Mark,
There are no major performance concerns here (and we get
Oracle "free" {system wide educational site license} -
unlike MS/SQL), so what I want to know is: does Oracle8
generally work well on Windows 2000 server (compared to
running it on NT4)? We will be running on this hardware:
IBM Netfinity5100 w/ RAID (dedicated Oracle server, w/
web server on same box, if possible).
My assumption is that Win2k/Oracle8 is "ok". Are there any
horror stories out there about running Oracle8 on Win2K
where running on NT4 would have been better?
thanks!
