Using VMS Shadowing to Copy Your Database
We have a 25GB Oracle production database spread over 11 shadow sets.

Evaluation of the metrics of a project, Project A, warned us that the schedule proposed by the contractor-14 months-was unrealistic. Thirteen months later, as we expected, the contractor had to add nine months to the delivery schedule. This kind of delay happened so often as to be characteristic. The problem facing the KPN purchasing organization was making measurement effective at the beginning of the purchasing process, rather than a sad footnote at the end of it.

The survey was the largest ever conducted on the topic and was emailed to nearly half a million PC users. It had 54,091 responses--a 16% response rate.
