[comp.databases] Oracle vs. Ingres vs. Informix

coop@cathedral.cerc.wvu.wvnet.edu (Cooperate) (02/16/90)

We would like to run an RDBMS under SCO/Xenix/Unix using a '386 server
and about 12 diskless workstations.

We checked on the prices, and the Oracle 8+ users package (kernel + tools)
will cost us about $15K, which is a little steep. How do Informix
and/or Ingres compare to this ? We were unable to find any information
about them (price, tools availiable, performance, etc.)

Could you mail any info u might have or your opinions on these possibilities ?
