[News] Migration of the Astro-Wise database to new hardware

[D.R. Boxhoorn]

Dear Astro-Wise user,

The migration of the Astro-Wise database has taken place and the database
is available again.
Remember that the performance may not be optimal the coming days as a full
backup is being made and indexes are being recreated and statistics are
being gathered. Please inform us if you notice any unfamiliar behaviour
starting Monday, August 12th, 2013.
If you see the error "ORA-16000: database open for read-only access" in the
coming hour you'll have to wait until your nameserver cache will be
refreshed, which can take up to a few hours, depending on your local
configuration.

We hope that all your known problems will have been solved following this
migration.

Thank you for your patience,

Andrey & Danny
