One database??

Why not look at the latest incarnation of the database that beat Rdb (on DEC's own TPC benchmark test) and Oracle hands down. The database then was called DSM, this is still going but a much more modern incarnation is Cache. If you want the facts and the details of how this is out-performing the so called big players today look at their web site www.intersys.com . Received on Wed Aug 25 1999 - 01:22:35 CDT
