Srini, 'myth'? Red Brick has established itself as perhaps the best performing of the data warehouse/data mart products, but performance has not translated to 'scalability'. Most of Red Bricks implementations did not come near the size of Oracle/Informix and especially Teradata implementations. When RedBrick came to market it had a definite advantage of being built specifically for DW, and performed well by implementing some fantastic new features. (Over the past few years Oracle and Informix have just about caught up with these features). But with respect to scalability, ORCL and IFMX experience with large databases and the associated issues, meant that RedBrick struggled competitively at the high end. No offence taken, of course. jmomj
