Rune,

We are more tempted to go for Oracle Unix or SQL server NT. The size of the database is relatively small - say 200 tables. Our current C-ISAM structure is approx. 4Gb but my Ingres experience tells me that moving to a RDBMS this will increase by 3 fold? with logging and checkpoints etc. We do not currently hold blobs etc. but we may need this facility later.

Thanks in advance
