CACHE??? You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Cache is an expensive proprietary database that is inferior to MySQL in every way! How do I know? Because I developed in Cache for many, many, MANY years!
Cache costs millions for hospital implementations. Their licensing structure totallly sucks. Here is an example, if you have a 128 user license (which costs about 250K - I have a quote), if you have 128 users visit your website, all others are locked out for a period of 10 minutes. It is not a "128 concurrent connection" license... each time a user hits the web server running cache, that user takes a license count for 10 minutes, even if they have closed their browser and are not online. the ONLY decent application Cache had was Weblink, and they have killed it. Cache uses M (MUMPS) for the back end... you might as well use VISTA and Fileman. If you would like to compare support of MySQL to Oracle or Cache - lets do that. Oracle I cannot speak for or against, I have not used it. But I can say MySQL has over 15 MILLION installations - and finding MySQL expertise is very easy. Take a look how much a Cache programmer costs (we are very expensive). There are only about 500 credible ones in the entire world. We converted a 100% Cache shop to MySQL and will NEVER look back - ever. In regards to the video... using Windows Media to encode anything is a mistake. Take a look at how much "private" information leaks through WM. They have many documented cases. You are also locking yourself in to the microsoft platform which is another huge mistake in healthcare. (I wrote a huge article about it "Microsoft and Healthcare - A Terrible Mix".) I've done video demos and training - the one below (the link) took only a few minutes to make - and is NOT locked in to Microsoft: http://www.michaelpike.com/xsys/files/xsysinstall.mov - a video on how to install an application I wrote (beta version). I will create an installation video for Care2XMac and post it here... again, not locked in to the Microsoft platform.
