Re: Need recommendation for a Windows and Mac Cross platform RDBMS using Netware 4.1
Posted in 1996
your wrong about filemaker, it is relational in 3.0. it is cross platform. but to do it right, run NT oracle, or OS/2 oracle on the server, and write yourself screens in Oracle Media Objects, or Oracle Power Objects. the price for the server is aroun 1.2k, the price for the client dev. is 400. thats the most elegant solution. --- I > >> I am making an inventory database at work, we use both Mac's and > >>Windows platforms using Novell Netware 4.1 to connect everything.
