I'm the worlds largest UNIX bigot, yet I'm continually surprised by the performance of our up to 200gig DW product running on NT 4.0 under OnLine Dynamic Server 7.23, with a 32-bit Powerbuilder GUI. I've worked extensively with HP from 9 to 10.20 on OnLine 5.x to 7.23. The worst performance nightmares were from a HP K440 (Ithink) with 7 processors. I have a Gateway 4-processor NT box running NT4.0 that is blowing away the HPs. Don't discount Informix on NT. jpl -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Lumbley(jlumbley@netcom.com) author of: "INFORMIX DBA Survival Guide" Slaving away on "INFORMIX DEBUGGERS Survival Guide", available early 1998 from Prentice Hall/Informix Press.
