Re: Do you HAVE to use Oracle?
I think most of the problem in migrating between DBMS is not that the other system cannot handle the work load. It is all the code and queries have been written to exploit the strengths of the legacy system. To get similar performance all the code and queries will need to be rewritten to exploit the features of the new system. A project that is in principle doable but in actuality potentially very risky. So caution says stay put unless absolutely forced to migrate to something else. The Minions know this and are trying to exploit this so Leisure Suit Larry can buy another yacht.
