Hi Thomas Re: If anything, I would guess that ORCL was more vulnerable there to a technology shift, e.g., if OORDBMS started to become the thing to have Now, an OORDBMS would be an interesting thing to have. While we've been hearing so much about pure OO dbms', Oracle has been adding some pretty features such as Packages and Types. Some programmers even swear by them. I tend to view Databases as where the rubber meets the road. There is seldom any room for an "ideal" implementation. Not considering small installations. Microsoft SQL Server is pretty good thing at the low end. It does the job, it assumes so little of the user, and it's "integrated" with other apps. The UI is familiar. Oracle offers a good compromise between scalability, speed and robustness. It's not the fastest, not the purest, not the most innovative but it is very very practical. DB2 is only for those who can afford it. But it's truly awesome. Informix has certain strengths in terms of performance but their tools suck. In any event it is not likely to be a dominant player this decade. Sybase - I don't know if it still around. Just kidding. -Dinesh
