Question 1: Let say I'm running on an Mac Ethernet and buy a FX or 3COM server with as much memory as possible. What are the real world limits of each of these databases as far a number of concurent users and database size before the thing dies. Question 2: Has anyone used any of these databases to connect up to larger databases in Unix land ie (SYBASE, INGRES etc). To either upload or access data. If there is enough interest I'll be glad to post a summary of the reponses. Thanx for your help and or advice.

The following limits are from Apple's Tech Note# 216, LImits for AppleShare 1.1 & 2.0 Servers: The following chart lists some current AppleShare limits which are based upon the chosen server platform and memory configuration. The limits which otherwise might be present on a workstation are still in effect and are not affected by the workstation being logged into an AppleShare server. These limits will change in the future. Server machine is: Server machine is: Macintosh Plus, SE, Macintosh II with Description of Limit or II with one Mb more than one Mb Number of Users 25 50 Number of Locked Ranges 1000 2000 Number of Open Files 80 160 Number of Volumes 16 16 I have no numbers for 3Com servers. Novell Netware servers should be adjustable depending on the system & available memory. > >Question 2: > >Has anyone used any of these databases to connect up to larger databases >in Unix land ie (SYBASE, INGRES etc).

I would be delighted to hear other users experiences, trial & tribulations, as we are about to embark on such an expedition ourselves. -- Bill Douglass, TCADA "I dreamed I was to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet."
