[comp.databases] Recommendations on small RDBMS products.

goodman@cuisun.unige.ch (GOODMAN Andy 6260) (01/23/91)

We are working on a large UNIX based medical 
application for which we will need support 
from a commercial relational (or extended 
relational) DBS.  We are interested in something which:

1.  is relatively small,

2.  provides an interpreted interface beyond 
being simply a C library (the interface should 
support the creation of tables from ascii files), and

3.  does not impose an incredibly high price 
for sites which buy our product.

I imagine that there a lot of people in this market 
and would very much appreciate any recommendations 
and warnings you have.

Andrew,
I tried to send you mail, but got the following back.

Briefly, here's a couple of points:

>We are interested in something which:
>

What's your definition of "small"?

>3.  does not impose an incredibly high price 
>for sites which buy our product.

What's your definition of "incredibly high price"?

I can send you more details, probably inappropriate here,
if you can post or send a different address 
or convince that gateway that your address is valid.
