I am about to begin development of a system written in C that must handle a
large amount of data. I am aware of a number of DBMS systems for UNIX--
Unify, Informix, Ingres, Oracle, C-Tree, etc.
I need to pick one that will work well on a 386 running AT&T Unix V. The
most important objective is transaction speed (for query transactions),
followed closely by ease of programming (by professional C programmers),
then speed for update transactions.
Can anyone offer advice on making such a selection? Are there any recent
benchhmarks I should read about?
