I am a new user on this OpenInsight Windows base program and intend to migrate from Advance Relevation 3.11. to this.

I have question on how stablility is this product ? Any more GFE if we use OI ?? What about database ? Which type of database is the best on performance. Can we use Oracle to act as the database ? What i understand is Oracle database is strong. I try using oracle before. but is quite slow on performing. But i like the Oracle database.

Thank you.

GFEs will be a thing of the past if you use the NLM or NT Service. (This also applies to AREV). See here for the hype[/b]. You can use Oracle natively with OI and get quite good performance.

As for using Oracle .. for one of my clients I have written a MFS which allows read/write to Oracle just as if it was a OI/Arev database. For this project I used the XO features. You can also use the dataset features which give a whole different set of tools. dsig David Tod Sigafoos ~ SigSOlutions [email protected] cis:70302,77 voice:503-639-8080 </QUOTE> —- === At 02 JUN 1998 10:16AM [email protected] wrote: === <QUOTE>if you get slow performance from inside OI using Oracle as a database, I suggest that you take a look at your Oracle settings .. INITORCL, and .. of course the indexes you've choosed to create. OI and Oracle works fine together in my opinion. We've developed a BFS for accessing Oracle .. like DSig's MFS solution, it's almost transparent, that is you can use read and write in the usual manor. We've had to do some changes to it though, as the LH database is very different in it's structure/behaviour from a SQL database for example, you can earn a lot of performance through rewriting the RLIST procedure when you're accessing a SQL-database </QUOTE> View this thread on the forum...
