Has anyone compared them? > I tried both (UnixWare 2.1, Informix 7, Win95). Openlink, at least when using their demo programs, seemed somewhat faster than SQL-Retriever. Unfortunately, I never could get Openlink to work with Access, and, despite making a number of 'phone calls, they never called me back.

Suffice to say, I bought SQL-Retriever for our customer. Robert Essex Milford Haven UK Robert Essex Milford Haven Cymru rpe@monnet.demon.co.uk
