Re: Very Large Database Support Inquiry...

The Informix Worldwise User Conference had a tutorial on this subject. You might be able to find someone who can get you a copy of that tutorial. These were real world cases presented by the people who manage the databases. ---- original message from I am Marc E. Strohwig ---- ++ ++ Greeting, ++ I'm try to locate some real world cases that have used one of ++ the popular RDBMS products to manage Very Large Databases - on the ++ order of 500 Gigabyte to 1 Terabyte. What I have on hear-say is that ++ Oracle does a so-so job, Informix is supposed to do a good job but is ++ too new and unproven and Sybase is pretty much unusable since it has ++ some sort of problem scaling past 4-CPUs on an SMP system. ++ ++ Can anyone comment? Recommend? ++ ++ Thanx, ++ _Marc ++ ++ -- ++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ++ Marc E. Strohwig Opinion?
