[comp.sys.att] dbase

haber@torah.UUCP (Yaacov Haber) (12/29/88)

We are in need of a good commercial quality
data base program for the 3b1. We are presently using
dbase 3 but it is a very buggy version and has no support
as it is a buggy version. We need something similair that works
has good documentation and support. Does anyone have any
suggestions. I have no idea what is out there.

we use informix for a 3b1-based product, and we're quite happy with it;
right now we're lining up to move from the 3b1 to the 6386, and we'll
stay with informix.

btw, i don't know what dbase3 costs, but informix is pricey - ~$750,
if i remember - but complete.

I am very pleased with Informix SQL, though it's big brother, 4GL, has 
been something of a disappointment.
