I AM TRYING TO HELP FRIENDS IN A NEW COMPANY CHOOSE BETWEEN DBASE SOFTWARE FROM: IFMX, MSFT/NT, AND ORCL.

THEY WILL NETWORK 5,000-10,000 COMPUTERS WORLDWIDE THAT WILL BE IMAGE INTENSIVE (MEDICAL IMAGING).

WHO DO YOU RECOMMEND AND WHY?

There's a lot more to a decision like this than trying to decide who has the "best" database. Some important factors to consider:

- What is their current platform (NT, Unix, etc.)?
- Will they be developing the solution in-house or hiring it out?
- Will they need to replicate the data world-wide, or will all systems connect to a central db?
- What's the client (i.e., end-user) platform?

Honestly, either SQL Server or Oracle can serve this type of need. Which one is right for your friend is a tougher question. Feel free to pm me for more if you'd like.

- Eric
