Re: troubles experience?

Hi. This thread got way off track and I was searching it with bated breath wondering if anyone would answer the original question. Jasmine wasn't one of the products originally asked about. They were ObjectStore, Versant and Informix. We have not looked at Informix, but we are looking at the other two. I have been browsing around the usenet for a couple days, looking for something good about ObjectStore (from other than ODI employees), but I have seen precious little. Is this because ObjectStore is so wonderful that no one has anything to ask about it, or because the other products are better and/or more interesting to hash around? Or have I just not looked around enough? - Tina In article <01bdbee2$14b90cc0$3639ea9e@UKP014505.logica.co.uk>, "__mm_(''')_mm__" <akmal@no_spam.com> wrote: > Peter Fallon <pfallon@compuserve.com> wrote in article > <35c59ada.1240920@news.compuserve.com>... > > On 3 Aug 1998 08:41:20 GMT, "__mm_(''')_mm__" <akmal@no_spam.com> > > wrote: > > > > >Hang on a minute though.
