Hi there. I need some help choosing a proper database system for my mixed Mac/PC Novell Netware network. Right now I have some databases running on the Mac using Fourth Dimension. The problems: 1) We have more PCs than Macs, and we need more data entry stations, so I'd like to use some of the PCs. 2) Our book-keeper would rather use a PC So, I want to have both PC and Mac front-ends for the same databases. I know FOX has both PC and Mac progs, but I don't like the Mac version. What I've been thinking about is using Paradox and 4D running off an SQL engine. Unfortunately, I don't know if this is possible, or what type of SQL I could run off of Netware, or how I'd work it. Would a program like Oracle be appropriate here? If you have any insights, please email me. Most helpful answer wins a free subscription to The Harvard Crimson, the newspaper I help manage. Thanks. Michael A. Schoen schoen2@husc9.harvard.edu
