AH Consultants, a wonderful lot. They wave their magic wands, collect their pay checks, and leave the manure for someone else to cleanup.
Now, if you'll pardon me, I've a wheel barrel full to take out!

An OCP I worked with was a contractor who regularly recommended products that he had no experience with (or maybe only OCP study related experience). It was expensive for the client since they were often foolish enough to buy into his recommendations. I sometimes had the mixed pleasure of cleaning up the messes he left behind.

It may well be "better" in many respects, but beware of "consultants" who make recommendations based on what they may have read somewhere - especially if the source vendor press releases or the thinly disguised equivalents - "first looks"/"reviews" in many trade magazines. [For what it is worth - I'm just now beginning to seriously test some pending new systems on 9.2, but won't claim that it is actually "much faster" or "more reliable" until I have some first-hand empirical evidence.] Don Granaman [OraSaurus] ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 5:13 AM Hi everybody, Currently we are using Oracle 8.1.7 in our company and for a new datawarehouse project, a consultant company has suggested us to use Oracle 9. The have claimed that applications run much faster and it's more reliable etc... Of course I was not convinced. Could you please tell me, where I can get some documents about the comparison of these two databases? Thank you for your help.
