1. If you would replicate database periodically, you should try Sybase system 11, our company had used Sybase & Oracle over 1 year, I had suggestion to my manager to drop Oracle database beacuse of bad performance than Sybase.
2. The price is based on how many connections to your database.
3. Choose PowerBuilder, a well known database front end tools of world. They have interface to 390.
