I've just read a slashdot story concerning the amazing benchmarks the New Zeland stock exchange recieved when comparing the run of Oracle on Windows to Oracle on linux.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3577892 They claim to cut a query taking 36 seconds down to 0.03 seconds by the switch to linux. I've also been told by one of our customers that they experienced extreme optimization when moving to linux as well The article claims this is because of the RAC architecture (which I assume is available only on linux) that let's it scale so much - but also in 9i oracle servers on the same hardware you hear of extreme differences... My question is... Why? How come this run _SO_ much faster on linux? Is it only due to the RAC affect , Is it a filesystem related thing? If anyone has any clues I'd be interested to use the LAEC (Linux-il aggregated Experience (with) Computing) to understand this... regards Lior Kesos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
