Re: INFORMIX Database ?

My deepest condolences regarding NT. With SAP, the size of your system is bound by the maximum size of your database server, which in NT's case for all practical purposes is 4 CPU's now (max supported by current Intel chipsets, gets real expensive > 4 CPU's). I suspect Peoplesoft is at least as restrictive. At lease try to go with Oracle or Informix if you can, SQL server isn't fit for big systems due to lack of row level locking.... I'd advise getting some expert help early on, you can make some really expensive and painful mistakes without it.
