Just a comment.
I am not a NT fan, and dispise using it for Oracle.
But I will repeat something I said many times.
For the $10,000-$20,000 budget, I can make an NT server out perform any unix
box on similar budget.
NT's problem is NOT that it is slow, I beg to differ, it can hold up with
most unix boxes any day of the week for a lot of differnt tasks. It is that
is scales really poorly after breaking into mid level market, and it is
prone to alot of DOS (Denial of Service) bugs.
Let me see any unix box for under $20,000 grand out perform a Eight 1000MHz,
4Gb Ram, 512Mb write-back cache, 20 Cheetah NT box.

Raj,
Your bosses idea might be OK with the following conditions.
1. If your database size is small (what is small is relative term. I
consider a database small if it is less than 200 GB)
2. If the number of users accessing the database is less (around 50 users).
3. If you have big server with large amount of memory (more than or equal to
4 GB) and more than or equal to 4 processors. And no other application is
competing for hardware resources.
4. If your server is a unix box (Forget doing this idea on NT. If your boss
insists on NT, then start brushing up your resume!!).
5. If you have backup plans for your database.
The list could give you suggestions, if you come out with your database
size, number of users, type of database (OLTP/DSS), the hardware
configuration etc.

DBAs,
I am working for a web developing and hosting company. My boss came out with
an idea of putting all the DB in a massive(!!) server so that we dont need
to have seperate server for each DB. He argues this is better idea than
having DB server for each site.
I am not sure how this will work. Any thoughts on this would be helpful to
me..
Thanks
Raj
