What do you guys think? Do you like one better than the other? Why? Anyone want to give me a quick review of Red Brick? What advantages does Red Brick have over Oracle? What about vice-versa? Any stories of comparisons while deciding between the two? Thanks for any and all input. Mike

The former makes for delicious fruit which has on occasion been used for the latter function. You get my drift... If you want to build a data mart use Red Brick, if you want a relational database you COULD use Oracle, though I'd recommend Informix over Oracle. Art S. Kagel
