<The typical Department goes out and gets a PC based database. They then go out and hire a consultant to write an application for them to do something they value. Their LAN's are Novell and range from 3.X to 4.1. I didn't set this up. It is the way millions of Novell networks are used today. Does that help?>

I would be surprised if there were many companies where each department used a different "out of box" PC database program and developed to it for thier own department only. The goal for every company database is a proper model, one location for each record type to ensure elimination of redundant data and provide consistent answers on reports, and access to the information company wide. If Novell doesn't support "silo databases", so what, they are becoming extinct anyway.

About 20 posts ago I saw a line I haven't seen on this board lately, something to effect of a company using NW 4.x for "network backbone infrastructure". And of course, BT/MCI will have a lot of T3 / DSL bandwidth coming on line during the next few years. That is the real prize, and NDS looks really, really good for this. Who cares how big the "network" gets, no problem with NW 4.x.

Tomorrow, I'm cracking another fine merlot and buying more shares.
