[comp.unix.xenix] Relational DBMS's for UNIX

anders@cmdsf.UUCP (Anders Nicolausson) (12/12/89)

Our organisation is planning a development of an application
using a relational DBMS. Our current system runs under SCO XENIX
on 286 and 386 platforms. We plan to stick that platform, so
SCO XENIX or later SCO UNIX 5.3 will be the OS our system will run under.

Of course now comes the question about which RDBMS to use. We seem to
have at least two, maybe three choices, since we want to use a well-
known supplier. Oracle, Ingres and possibly Informix are the systems
we consider. Is there anyone that has performed any type of benchmarks
with these RDBMS's? Or have anyone had any experience, good or bad, that 
they would like to share? Deciding issues are going to be performance,
development environment and support.

Please send comments or advise using e-mail. I will post an article
to summarize if enough interesting info comes in.
