I'm developing an Open Look application for Sun and am looking for a royalty free relational database to be used in the product. I liked B-Trieve on the PC platform. Something similar, i.e.: NOT ORACLE, INFORMIX, INGRES, or other systems which ultimately become the bottleneck of the system. Thanks. I'll summarize if there's alot of posting.

It's cheap, it's C-Source and no strings attached on applications produced. It's the cheapest way to do DBMS on a Sun-cluster. Implementing an application in (say) Oracle would mean you have to buy the Oracle runtime license on each workstation. In a world where a SLC has a street-price of $4200, the DBMS prices make no sense. -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Ajay Shah, (213)734-3930, ajayshah@usc.edu The more things change, the more they stay insane. _______________________________________________________________________________

I am now currently working with BTRIEVE and find it very limiting in it's abilities. INGRES especially if used correctly and if you do optimize all your queries using QEP and using all the file structures at your disposal you might change your mind. Sanjay chesky@leland.stanford.edu
