Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-database@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi. I have been using FreeBSD for quite some time and I feel it is a great OS. Now I am put into a position where I will lead the system design for a startup company. I want to use FreeBSD, but my employers are adamant at using Oracle. Any idea when Oracle will be released? And even so, is Oracle for FreeBSD going to be robust enough to handle the load? I cannot give out too many details due to an NDA (I am really sorry), but they assure me we will reach large loads. (estimate load of a medium sized company with a lot of database access / web accesses). So relatively complex queries, and a good number of them. I have deeply considered solaris + oracle instead, but I have a strong desire and trust in FreeBSD. Does anyone have any advice they can give me on this? Thanks deeply in advance. -Carroll Kong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
