SQLServer goes only so fast, and that's it. I dunno, it seems people have good and bad experiences with products. For those of you inclined to believe TPC-C numbers, Sybase has the current high at 39,469 tpmC. I think Informix's best number is *currently* on our box (SGI) at 25,309. I can't say, publicly, when our next number will be coming out with any RDBMS but look for more coming... I sport the opinion that you should buy the software that best fits your shop. How's that for flimsy marketing opinions? -- Pablo Sanchez | Ph # (650) 933.3812 Fax # (650) 933.2821 pablo@sgi.com | Pg # (800) 930.5635 -or- pablo_p@pager.sgi.com =============================================================================== I am accountable for my actions. http://reality.sgi.com/pablo [ /Sybase_FAQ ]
