Re: What would you do without RPG?

Well, there is a lot of truth to all of that. On the other hand, i shops can and do get by with less people
not so much because of the machine or OS, but because of the attitude of the people running the
machine and developing the software and so forth.

You *can* do the same with just about any OS or system, if you have the will to do it. Of course,
systems like the AS/400 (a name that will live forever… :) make it *easier* to do that…

But what I really meant is the cost of SAP and the auxiliary database and OS systems is (or can be) less expensive on
Linux and/or Windows than on the i. That is what catches the attention of the financial types.

SAP on i:
Sometimes ago in an SQL Workshop someone told me they formerly worked with
SAP on a pSeries and an Oracle database.
He also told me as long as they worked with the ORACLE database there were
everyday 3 DBAs who did nothing else than balance indexes and adjust
buffers
etc.

that has to be make work, no? There must be code an ORACLE admin can run
that automates whatever it is that has to be done to keep the database
functioning.
