Organization: Fat City Network Services, San Diego, California X-ListServer: v1.0g, build 72; ListGuru (c) 1996-2001 Bruce A. Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Tao - If I understand your situation, you currently have 3 separate databases, 2 separate Lawson databases and another OEM database? You can combine your two Lawson databases, but you'll need to develop a careful project plan. Right now your Lawson HR database probably sends data to your Lawson GL system, so that needs looked at before you do the combination. There is a Lawson email list that can answer that question in more detail. Is the OEM repository and historical database more of a data warehouse or OLTP system? Data warehouses tend to have spikey usage and don't play well with OLTP databases such as your Lawson system. I would tend to keep it separate just based on the limited information you've provided.
