I'm investigating building a very large database using a '386 machine and would like to know if anyone has any experience with a 300Mb or greater Oracle or other SQL database on a PC. I know that one can get large SCSI and ESDI disks for the PC, but the question remains if the software will support them. Thanks in advance, Herb Lison

I know that Try Dataflex by Data Access Co. in Miami FL. Although I havent had persona greater, I have had excellent performance at 100+MB and according to the specs, there should be no problems going up to 300MB +. -- Antony Landsman - via FidoNet node 1:104/116 UUCP: dunike!canyon!seal INTERNET: seal@canyon.UUCP

You might also want to look at a C database engine called "ctree", by FairCom. It is an excelent database engine, runs under 86 known operating systems, and comes with the complete source code. If you dont want to write your own database manager to take advantage of ctree's speed (and BOY, is it FAST!), then you can use a program called Pro-C (Not Pro*C - the Oracle program) to generate database applications. I think ctree goes for about $400, but you can contact fairCom at the address below for more info. FairCom Corporation 4006 West Broadway Columbia, MO 65203 Tel: (314)445-6833 Fax: (314)445-9698

I was running a Fidonet system under QNX with 80,000 records and ctree was very slow at adding and making copies of individual records (under QNX that is). -- Larry Snyder uucp:iuvax!ndcheg!ndmath!nstar!larry The Northern Star Usenet Distribution Site, Notre Dame, IN USA
