We have been running SQL Server 4.8 and 4.9.1 on a dual-CPU Sun 670MP for over a year. This server is configured with two engines and supports about 100 users (about 250 connections). It is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We have had very few _serious_ problems and are very happy with it. I personally think SQL Server is an excellent product. ** I define a _serious_ problem as one that crashes the server or corrupts data. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin.Klein@mixcom.com #include <disclaimer.h> Strong/Corneliuson Capital Mgmt I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possesion, a duty. -- John D.
