[lug] Follow up: Best OS for big Oracle data warehouse?

[Thomas DiGennaro]

After following the thread I'll chime in with my experience.
If you need lots of location/geo info in your database - choose PostgreSQL.
They are light years ahead in geo.
If you need a scalable Open Source solution - choose PostgreSQL.
Otherwise, choose mySQL.

I have to concur with the majority here. If you're going to run Oracle DBMS,
run it on Oracle Linux. It works best there, and noticeably better than on
upstream (RHEL).

But better yet, dump Oracle entirely, and run PostgreSQL on RHEL, instead.
Now, while you still have a chance.
