We are currently an SAP shop running clustered windows 2003 with a 500 GB SQL database supporting 98 users processing over 900 EDI orders a day with interfaces using Biztalk 2002 for EDI orders into SAP and EDI invoices and asn's out of SAP.
we are being challenged to evaluate a conversion to an environment that entails a Unix OS and MaxDB from mySql for a database.
As we resist this move, what issues and differences can I expect between the two database technologies? Are there any research sites that might compare the two let alone the Windows vs Unix conversion?
Any help, advise, websites to visit will be appreciated
