g'day eh?

 i would be interested in getting some information of experience in the 
 installation, configuration and problems encountered in the implementation
 of a gigabyte size ( or thereabouts ) Oracle system. 

 a potential client is looking into setting up a system for around 2000 users,
 running Sql*Forms, either connected directly into the host or over a network
 using some other machine as a client side.

 the machines, in my estimation, capable of coming anywhere near this level of
 performace would be top of the line Blue Boxes ( 3090's or their newer thangs)
 or a multi processor Vax 9000.
 
 in either case, would Sql*Net run over a hardware tomfoolery such as a 
 backplane channel attach, or a box utilizing content addressable memory help.

 the actual size of the project is still under definition, but one cut shows a
 table containing 60 million records. sorry, no attribution information.

thanks in advance, 
barry
