Yeah, and the financial community was the most significant user base of the "Next" O/S too. Aren't these the same people responsible for the dot.com hype before the bubble burst? Didn't they say the new economy makes the old economy obsolete and that the "old rules" no longer apply? Yeah, they possess superior judgment. ;-)

Sybase is also very popular in the Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN area with hospitals and HMO's.
FYI - there are about 175 companies in the area here using Oracle.

I second that. The Financial community is owned by Sybase.

Oracle is scoffed at...too slow...too pricey...too much fluff.

Oh, and apparently, the DBAs have attitude, and you need to buy too many of them to keep the rusty garbage scow running.

Interesting to note that a good number of financial companies -- who make a living off of fast, stable databases -- use Sybase. They tend to prefer it for its combination of speed and cost of operation. None of them store recipies on it that I know of, nor do they allow their grandmothers access to the systems.
