Go Live With Oracle On Linux

Question

Hi all,
I thought you guys might be interested to know that this stuff
is used out there...
I work for a Government property management company ( Housing
New Zealand ), and they were looking at downsizing their systems
infrastructure. A subset of the business was picked to pilot a
downsized system.
We ported from :
"thin client" : Citrix Winframe, Developer 2000, HPUX , Oracle
7.3
to a :
client server : Win95, Developer 2000, RedHat 6.0, Oracle 8.0.5SE
Instead of running 80 users on :
80 P300 PCs, Winframe Client +
1 4xP200 Winframe/NT, Developer 2000 +
1 HP-PA/Risc, HPUX ,Oracle 7.3.3
We are running 5 users on :
5 P300 PC Win95, Developer 2000 +
1 P300 PC RedHat 6.0, Oracle 8.0.5, samba
( Obviously this was the pilot subset ! )
Although this represents a "step backwards" in deployment
architecture ( 3 tier - 2 tier ), it represented a decrease in
cost infrastructure per user ( No Winframe/NT License, No
expensive Proprietry hardware, only 1 ( Cheap ) propritary o/s (
Win95 ).
We went live with this beast on 1 Aug.
The Redhat box has been rebooted once since them - not by us (
Power outage at the site ).
The server is just idling with 5 concurrent connections.
Oracle 8.0.5/Redhat is rock solid as far as we can tell !
( with the right patches ....
for those interested they are
8.0.5.1 patchset
redo log async write - bug 882446
glibc patch
setuid security patch
Cheers

Hi Mark,
I am also running Oracle 8.0.5 in my RD6.0 machine.
I installed Developer2000 into my win98 machine.
I tried to login using the developer2000 into the
oracle running under linux but connection cannot
go through. I don't know the reason to this. Though
I can use the SQL*Plus to connect to this database
from win98, can you figure out what is wrong with
my setup?
Thanks,
-Paul
