My answer is BUY Sql Server. Get the benefits of the full product. It is more a simple data store for all of your bits. You will get SSRS and now you can push reports ahead of peak times. There are probably 25 great reasons to consider M$ version at this time. The company will have to pay for it. I have a cluster with 2 TB of data on line at my disposal right now. There are 8 instances of SQL running on that single box. One for our ERP and all of it's data, another for our DW. Third for in house applications that support or suck data off of ERP. Third for SharePoint and fourth for all internal Ops systems. From those 4 instances I have 4 test instances as well. When you consider this is the lifeblood of the business you start to view this as an asset instead of an expense. You can do just about all of this same stuff from other RDBMS systems. You have an existing set of code in place today that references the M$ product. How much time to refactor is a big issue at hand. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMYKiPv9Wwk7b75CZ09CzCOwasBfOM0T9q+69HjEWxUX=d...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
