Bull. And we're using HP-UX, Solaris and Linux. And yes, we *paid* for
Linux and we have support for it. Linux is as stable as HP-UX and
Solaris.
If you want to roll your own using a non-certified Linux distro for
Oracle or as an enterprise o/s, then you only have yourself to blame.
(and yes, I'm running non-certified distros too using Oracle 9i,
Oracle iDir, and JBOSS (with current uptime of over 152 days - it was
last bounced due to a powerfailure as its not connected to the UPS).
Many people's experiences with Linux is based on ignorance - and so
are their comments. I once had to do an export of two production
schemas and import these into into a new instance on a new platform.
The developers neglected to tell me that they were using public
synonyms (not my orginal database - they also had sysdba access) and
views based on these public synonyms. So the production stuff was
broken on the new instance. As a result they thought that synonyms and
views were a problem in Oracle and simply stopped using them at all in
new developments. Until I found out and managed to fix their
perceptions.
I classify the statement that "Linux is not stable" in that same
category. Pure ignorance.
