Re: Re[2]: MySQL vs. Oracle database

Plus, I had some experience with a "Supra"-ized Cincom database. It was a nightmare. We wound up reverting to their more primitive (but stable) database - Total. There was a newer pass at "Supra" in the early '90s that was supposed to turn a Total database into a relational database and this looked promising...but I moved on to the Oracle world...

||Um, no, not really.

||SAPDB is Sybase, pure and simple.
