15.1 Concepts

The SQ server line is a line of BS2000/OSD business servers, which are based on

x86-64 architecture. Oracle Database 11g supports this innovative line of SQ servers,

for example, SQ200, and the BS2000 operating system OSD/XC.

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 for SQ Server runs in native x86-64 mode in the BS2000

partition of the SQ Server. Programs running in this mode provide much better

performance than programs running in /390 mode (= compatibility mode).

There are no differences in handling and administration compared to the

"conventional" Oracle for BS2000 (on /390 systems). So the migration from

conventional Oracle for BS2000 to Oracle for SQ Server is very simple.

All products you know from the /390 edition of Oracle, for example, Oracle Net

Services, SQL*Plus, Precompilers, are available in native x86-64 mode for the SQ

Server line.
