responded and kept responding, its not me driving this - its you guys!
You mean where I said "So that's an average of 2TB/week. Do you really
defend what Tony said:
Windows/pair of SATA drives can do that? "
where I said "Well, here's where I disagree. The design necessary
to get SQL Server
to handle TB's of data along with random transactional queries puts the
onus on programmers to do it right. All you need is one newbie and you
are screwed. Unless you use the new feature that makes it work like
So let's see: New unproven feature or risk of manual error.
New unproven feature or risk of manual error. New unproven feature
that probably has bugs (like with ALL vendor databases new features),
or near-100% chance of manual error.
I'll pass. handles MVCC right by default, environments
have more problems with SQL-Server people who haven't unlearned doing
it wrong than with the actual native environment. "
where I said "I didn't bother to give more specific examples of
SQL-Servers'
shortcomings because it has already been cross-flamed to death (and
even discussed rationally in Tom Kyte's books). I was just posting the
executive summary. Which, as Noons alluded, is probably beyond what
can be inferred from the P. "
Frankly, I haven't seen where you've disproved any of that, or where
you've properly responded to Galen et al once again hashing over what I
didn't even bother to rehash.
You just don't seem to get that SS has done it wrong, most all the
people that use it have gotten it wrong, and they aren't going to
change any time soon. You don't even see there is a problem with
people waiting for blocked reads! You don't even see there is a
problem with combining different transaction isolations in the same
system!
I've tried my best to have a technical discussion but with you and gaven its
just impossible, you only ever post myths, hearsay and blatant lies (like
the sap thing).
I am not the troll here, remember - this message started across a wide
number of groups and not just oracle.
So are you blaming the P or Daniel or me?
I'm done here anyway, better things to do with my time; but, its recorded
now so I will let readers of the thread judge (and read up) for themselves,
the truth is out there as one good tv series puts it, and its certainly
doesn't come from you!
