We're in the process of scoping a project running a RDBMS on a IBM RISC 6000 Model 590. Initially, the database will be about 1 gig (the largest table around 500 meg). We're looking into DB2/6000, Sybase SQLServer and ORACLE. Any help with any of the following would be helpful:   

  1. Ease of administration
  2. Connectability - applications with potential links are SAS (v6.09 for UNIX) and Visual Basic for Windows
  3. Vendor Support
  4. Import/export issues
  5. "Performance"

Any help would be appreciated and forgive me if you've seen this message in another newsgroup. Our newsgroup reader at work is on the fritz, but e-mail to plund_at_dshs.wa.gov works fine. TIA for any help.
