I am a database novice by most standards. My task is to find the best db
solution for data warehousing a data set that includes numbers, text, mixed
characters, and text strings of up to 1000 characters; to be used in simple
operations and complex data mining. I have readily a supported NT platform, a
semi-supported Linx and the potential for Sun flavored Unix. Bo one in house
is a db user/support per se. So learning curve is critical. What shall I do? My
assumption is that Oracle is the the best choice of among Pick, Sybase,
Informix, SQL, or others. What do I use? Where do I start? This is my first
and most important newsgroup posting. If you would be so good to forward ansers
to Lance_at_-DELETETHIS-pagelink.com I would be so apprecitive. By the way, I will
be parsing 8 gig of text a day and selectively storing the info. So the
solution needs to have portability and expansion at its core.
