Hi,

We are experiencing, what I seem to think, very poor performance.

We need to do a ot of look-ups and reports.

We don't need to do a lot of inputs, or data/order entry.

I was thinking that maybe we need to take a data warehouse or DSS approach.

I have been told that conventional DBMSes are good at accomodating a lot of transactions ("getting data into the system"), but not good at letting information get extracted.

Any opnions here?

Thank you!
