SYBASE NT and Unix Operating System

By Ron Navon ·
Dear Sir,

I am running an application based on SYBASE 11.5 on Unix and Widows NT 4.0.

Most of the activity of Data Base as any Data Base is Merge, Select and Update.

I tested this application, when I am doing a select commandfrom merge of 11 tables and display the result on screen, I found a very strange result that I give the result in NT faster than Unix.

I will be very appreciate if any one assist me to solve this problem.

Thanks and Best Regards.


Sincerely Yours,
Ron

SYBASE NT and Unix Operating System

Why exactly are you sure that the result is 'very strange'? I presume your Unix machine has more MIPS horsepower than the NT one, but there are more factors in place:
* Quality and tuning of the two Sybase implementations (ask Sybase for details, e.g. compare Sybase-Linux or Sybase-SCO with Sybase-NT on exactly the same Intel machine)
* Tuning of Unix and NT
* Sizes of the databases, are they really the same
* Connection from client to server, is the LAN nowhere a bottleneck?

As an example: 3 years back we compared DB2/400 on an AS/400 monster with DB2/NT on a humble Intel. With same database size, the NT box outperformed with 50% because SQL implementation on AS/400 was quite lousy.
Have fun,
