>>By the way, remember when only Sybase provided Client Server??? The period when that happened was only a very short period of time in the late 80's. Sybase was started in 1984, and shipped " the first relational database designed specifically for online networked applications" in 1988. Informix shipped its version of I/Net which gave its engines the same capability shortly after that. I am sure that Oracle did something similar in the same timeframe. In many ways Sybase has been a big PR machine, and they did that better than anyone else, including Oracle. Most of the claims of Sybase about Client/Server are just bogus or based on definitions that favor the Sybase case over what reality is. Everyone knows that you can run PR only so long, and that is what finally caught up with Sybase.
