Oh, I _know_ IB does not scale past 50 or so users on intel (well, 100, if
you design the app right). Oracle goes into the 1000's on decient hardware
(note, tho, I've never run IB on a Solaris box....)

Fair enough - what method does it employ for logging of transactions? the
same type as MSSQL and Oracle or the versioning type one that IB uses (which
means even really large DB's take seconds to come back up)

I forgot DB2, and yes, MSSQL is single platform. But seriously, how many
people in NZ do _you_ deal with who deploy on non-NT platforms, (ok, with
the exception of the Linux+IB crowd)
