But it's the largest database on the web! Microsoft said so themselves. Besides, now that they have shown quite clearly how SQL Server 7.0 handles over a terabyte of data with near-instantaneous response time for untold millions of users they can begin the real work: making SQL Server an "integrated" part of the Windows 99 OS! You may never have to buy RDBMS software again. Perhaps Oracle will have to give away their slow, buggy, unstable server software for free just to avoid being bankrupted when hordes of IS managers who have to actually deliver working systems abandon expensive Oracle for cheap (did I mean inexpensive, no I think cheap is better) Microsoft products. With my tongue firmly (when I'm not laughing) in cheek... -Michael
