We currently run an Oracle 8i db for Oracle Applications 10.7. We are
considering moving away from this whole infrastructure to Windows 2003
Server and SQL Server 2005 with a new ERP system.
Currently, we have an Oracle DBA under contract who performs all of the
maintenance required, plus does any and all fixes to the db when there
are problems.
What I have been asked, and couldn't comfortably answer, is do we need
the same sort of arrangement for SQL Server? We have plenty of Windows
server experience in house, but only minor SQL Server experience (I can
set up maintenance jobs, backups, user admin, etc.). If something bad
happens to the ERP system, and the ERP vendor determines that the
problem is not with their app but is with the db itself, how do I get
this resolved quickly? Should I have a contract with a 3rd party to
cover us should this scenario occur?
Thanks for any and all feedback.
Regards,
Brian
