Oracle is probably most frequently used, and kind of the "safe" choice based on market share. I don't know why anybody would use SQL server after paying premium bucks for an ERP package and people to implement it, but people do it anyway. Sun Solaris servers with Oracle or Informix seem to be a very popular combination these days. That's my perspective as a SAP Basis Administrator and Informix DBA type anyway. I'm sure you'll get plenty of other opinions. Greg
