Dear All
I've run a test upgrade from 7.6 to 7.6.2 and the database upgrade took over 44 hours! Now i know that it's spec dependent and database size dependent but I wondered what times others were seeing?
In the development environment we're running:
Dell desktop PC chassis
windows 2008R2 64 bit
Inter Core i& 2.8 gig processor
14 Gig memory
Sata drives
10 meg nic
This runs SQL 2008 R2 natively with an 88 gig database
Running oracle Virtual box
3 gig memory for TPS server
on win2k3 r2
10 meg virtual NIC
Obviously this is going to be slower than our live environment but by how much and do we need to dedicate a whole weekend to upgrade just in case (rhetorical mainly)
Any opinions welcome
thanks
Jason
