I must say I am really enjoying this thread.. If we can keep it going another 60 posts I can start thinking about being an enterprise architect!! :) Seriously though, how are the precentages of RDBMS share really measured in the posts previous? Is it money? Users? Transactions? Licenses? How can you include access in such a number, microsoft even recommends you don't use Access for enterprise activity...
