vms is a great os, if only dec ported it to the intel chip, then ms would not be what it is today. ohh well, that's history. for installs on vms use oracleins not the gui installer. they give you 2 choices, guess b/c the gui doesn't work :). wish they would bring back orainst /c for unix!

Number of users. I have a 170G Oracle 8.1.6 database running on WinNT 4.0 with 3xx of RAM just fine, as long as there are no more than 2 users. Jump up to about 16 users and response time goes down the tube. So I guess that transactions are the answer. I don't have any benchmarks. Just my

I can add to Jesse's comments. VMS has always been the bastard of Oracle Platforms even though it was written for VMS initially. Remember that Larry first wrote Oracle on the VMS platform. The installation process is actually very clean as compared to many other environments. Yes, it does

As suggested by Frank, turning on Cached option of Quick I/O really helped the reads (at the same time with some negative impact on writes). At this point I have enabled cache quick i/o on data file systems. This is on a sun e10k with 28 cpu and 28g ram. If anyone who has used cached quick i/o

I have done OPS/RAC on 7.x, 8.x, 8i and 9i w/IBM SP, RS/6000 and Sun. Believe it or not you can encounter database hangs on OPS/RAC on any of these versions that you do not encounter on non-OPS/RAC solutions (or as Oracle likes to put it in some cases slows down so much that it appears hung).

Sort area size is used to sort, but so is the temporary table space. Can increase your sort area size? Both sort_area_size and sort_area_retained_size need to be looked into. sort_area_retained_size specifies in bytes the maximum amount of the user global area (UGA) memory retained after a

Thanks, Barb. From the traffic on this issue I think that there is quite a few VMS users on the list. They have been quiet and do not generate a lot of traffic. Does this mean that I have to watch all of the other traffic and think to myself why not convert to VMS and not have the problems?
