Sales: Although I do not doubt that license sales for DBMS software will increase, I do doubt how this will translate into the bottom line for database vendors. Applications are increasing being written to ODBC standards making the choice of a DBMS platform a generic one. The lowest cost vendor wins (read SQL Server). We are implementing a significant application on a Wintel platform with considerable power, multiple gigabytes of storage, and a hardware cost below $20K. How much will be be willing to spend on a DBMS license? Bob Gauthier
