Usually we recommend Microsoft SQL Server for smaller workgroups. Their pricing structure is more conducive for small to medium size companies. While I knew that Informix is expensive I didn't realize it was this expensive. Does anyone know if Oracle For Workgroup has a more cost effective pricing structure. For multi-user work, Progress seems to be reasonably priced. Progress also turns up quite often in companies your size. Rich Richard Finkelstein, Performance Computing, Inc.
