1: Oracle 9i
Posted by Michael Feldstein on 06/14/01 09:41 PM
I'm mainly asking out of idle curiosity, but does anyone have any
thoughts on using Oracle 9i with OpenACS? Is there any reason
to think it would be better than 8? Any reason to think it would be
worse?

well..  its not Open Source??..      ClassicACS can use 9i but I think we do not want to develop along proprietary software.. unless I am mistaken

OpenACS 4 is built to run on Oracle and Postgres. There is another thread, I believe on the aD bboards, that talks about 9i. From what I remember, 9i is some more whizbang stuff but doesn't give you much more.

It may not give you much more, but it gives it to you for much less (though it still ain't cheap). In brief: $40K per CPU for Enterprise Edition, $15K per CPU for Standard Edition. For more info, see the link I put in at the end of the thread that Talli mentions in the post right above this one. Also, there was an article in the NY Times with similar info.
