NT with SQL server<br /> b. Unix with Oracle Database<br /> c. Linux with Oracle Database<br /><br />After the site is ready, how do I test to ensure that it can handle the expected traffic of 30,000 hits ?<br /><br />Many thanks in advance.<br />

I had a site 3 months ago that debuted with 100.000 hits in one hour.<br /><br />Now Problem.<br /><br />I suggest you go after SQL Server. More integrated and cheaper than Oracle.<br /><br />OPtherwise: Get a sppecialist for the SQL. Because you need to get the databasie and queries RIGHT, in case of problems get the right computer (multi processors?), though your number of hits sound like my 3 year old computer should be able to handle. 30.000 hits a day run down to ONE page about every THREE seconds.
