I remember back in 1998 when our CIO and CEO went to Germany for 6 months of hands-on evaluation and training of SAP Retail. They went home disappointed. SAPdb's hardware requirements are very intensive. SAPdb will not run on clones, and is a pain to configure. It's always good to keep an open mind on things, though. First impressions of software does not apply, since software can evolve and become robust in time. We'd evaluate SAPdb again and decide for ourselves if it can replace Progress database in terms of raw performance, adaptability, deployment, and costs. We hope that the open-sourcing of SAPdb has solved the performance issues. Thank you very much for the input. -- mikol "There is no concept more closer to intellectual emancipation than free software.
