Sybase has 1 word, 6 letters, 2 syllables, starts with a consonant and ends with a vowel. Informix has 1 word, 8 letters, 3 syllables, starts with a vowel and ends in a consonant. MS SQL Server has 3 words, too many syllables and every word starts and ends with a consonant. So, in summary, Sybase appears to be the word of choice. I would recommend using it in all situations. I would only recommend Oracle and Informix as words to be used in certain situations and MS SQL Server should only be used during extenuating circumstances. -am
