    Interesting. For those of you who haven't read the article,     it says that a survey made by the Winter Corporation showed that the top 10     OLTP databases on UNIX in the following categories: "Most Data", "Highest     Workload", "Most Rows/Records" were all Oracle databases.     Does anyone know of similar surveys on other platforms? In     particular Windows NT / Windows 2000?     And how about on the Sinclair, the Tandy, and the Commoder     PET? :) Received on Thu Apr 05 2001 - 15:59:52 CDT
