I came across an evaluation of four major products (Ingres, Informix, Oracle, Sybase) a while back. Unfortunately, the evaluation was done in October 1993, so it is on Sybase 4.9 not on System 10. But it's a start. The survey was done by Daniel Druker, UCLA Microcomputer Support Office. His e-mail address is

        ddruker_at_agsm.ucla.edu

If you are unsuccessful obtaining a copy from him, let me know and I will e-mail the copy I have. But you should try him first because he may have updated it to include System 10.
