I am a DBA myself and there is only so much you can do with software. If you want your system running faster, you need hardware with very good design.

As an Informix DBA, I will second Lucky888's statements. Disk I/O is still the slowest part of data retrieval. I started following EMC in Feb. 1996 (wished I would have bought it then), and finally bought it in July 1997.

It's a GREAT product...
