Hi all,
God morning and thank you all very much for a valuable discussion on this
topic.
With this we will be able to add some thing meaningful in our RFP which will
help us in a long way.
I am fortunate to be a part of this list.
Thanks
Deen

Hi deen,
This may help you with your RFP, from an Oracle DBA's
perspective. Sorry if I'm a little slow to reply.

Subject: Database programming standards
Hi all,
We are in the process of preparation of a RFP for a
big project; it is going
to be developed in J2EE, do not know which app server
we are going to use (
probably SUN Iplanet server ), Oracle 9i is the back
end.
I am looking for some database programming standards
to be written up in RFP
so that we maintenance team can reduce the amount of
mess to deal with after
vendor leaves.
...
----------END QUOTE----------
Why not include in the RFP SLA that "Any off the shelf
(OTS) application that does *not* allow Oracle to
support RI, nor triggers, nor stored procedures, must
*guarantee* RI and equivalent performance/scalability
without additional maintenance or productivity costs"?
1) One form of *guarantee* might be to refund the cost
of DBA work to analyze and delete duplicate records,
or pay to perform database optimization/scalability
testing and updates.
2) Another example, pay the consulting expenses and
lost productivity penalty to *fix* RI in the OTS
application.
3) Finally, pay for legal and business expenses to
recover costs of failed RI in the OTS application,
since the OTS vendor did not support running RI
features in Oracle. How about paying expenses to
recover duplicate payments generated erroneously?
Unfortunately, these are some actual experiences I
wish were included in our project RFP up-front.
You can likely think of a few similar ideas. ;-)
HTH.
Regards,
Mike Thomas
