I'm looking for information on Teradata (sp?) database processors.
Has anyone had experience with these machines or at least know
where I can read up on them?
Thanks.

You can find teradata's phone number from 411 to ask them send you information on their products. But if you want more than just colorful marketing materials you have to ask for pointers from the researchers of database machines. You can start it from Andy Lowry of Columbia University. The best book of this subject is "Database Computers: Principles, Architectures, and Techniques" of S. Y. W. SU from McGraw-Hill, 1988. Britton Lee has custom database processors too. A most recent news said that Honeywell Bull has a super duper with 1000 tps and a price tag of (hold your breath!) 6 million dollors. The news also said President of big Bull believes the mainframe market of database applications will grow rapidly in next dacade. You might want to know more about it. Please pass me the information you get for this monster. ___________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: Nothing needs to be disclaimed.
