Ryan: 30K DML is very much achievable. Few weeks back, I was involved in a benchmark excercise for one of the telcos here and the result was 32k CDRs/seconds. (Each CDR-Call Data Record processing involves 3-4 DMLs). So your target is very much possible with minimal tuning. We have used Pro*C and 9iR2 RAC on HP-UX Itanium. --- ryan_gaffuri@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > does anyone know what the largest database in the world that uses > oracle is?
