Your question is rather general, and really is best answered by saying it depends on what your requirements are. Here are my views: Informix Fastest Performer Weekest SQL language Easy maintenance Oracle Problaby the richest SQL Slowest of the 3 Hard to maintain SQL Server Best NT solution Integrates well with Microsoft environments Some interesting recovery options (like rolling forward logs to a specific point in time, rather than rolling forward to the end of the most recent log). Only supports page locking (if it still follows its Sybase roots) Mark MarkDenham@aol.com (home) Denham.M@amstr.com (work)
