Konnichiwa, Nagaosan. Hajimemashite.
I have had good results using Oracle 7.3. for NT 4 and Spatialware. This
is a lot more expensive than MS Access, but in my case, Access couldn't
handle the dataset size. All you'll need is the Oracle Server product;
version 7.3.3.x.y.z works fine, but Oracle wants people to buy their rev.
8.x.y.z stuff, which will work too. The ODBC was easy for straight queries
from MI, although programming applications to use it can be tricky. Query
times with 250k - 1M record tables were excellent.
I have heard even better things about Informix, but don't have any personal
experience with it. I know some of the Spatialware developers smile when
they talk about Informix.
Hope this helps.
