The group I work for produces a real-time scanning system. We are currently investigating alternatives for what we are terming a "real-time" database. What we want to do is send the data generated by our system via ethernet to some database system on a "real-time" basis. Not entirely sure how fast it has to be. It has to have report generating capabilities, graphical capabilities, possibly multitasking capabilities. This is still in the totally undefined stage and I am simply looking for some suggestions, pointers etc. for possible operating systems, database systems, books(?), and any personal experiences which could be relevant and helpful. Please email any responses to: hoffman@eksignal.kodak.com Thanks!!!!!
