300 gb baze jaz ne bi dajal na informix-linux... ko sem se še igral z
linux verzijo sem imel GROZNE probleme z verzijo ids7 in linuxom
2.2... veliko fetchev ali insertov so povzročili, da je povezava med
klientom in strežnikom padla za trenutek, dovolj, da je aplikacija to
zaznala in sporočila napako... ids2000 tega ni več povzročal. delal
je res zelo hitro. na linux me spominja še ena grenka izkušnja, ko
datafilov, oz chunkov, kot se reče tem datotekam na informixu nisem
imel na raw devicih. enkrat je namreč izpadla elektrika in ext2 tak
kot je pač v kombinaciji z asihronim mountom sta doprinesla k temu,
da se baza ni več dvignila...

ne bi vedel. povprašaj na icosu

... ne uporabljaj za resno delo.

pozdrav, brane
