I moved from Interbase (and Firebird) to SAPDB .. Approximately 300 meg database being accessed from Zope/Python Although SAPDB is bigger and a more complex setup, I'm more confident in it, I appreciate the advanced tools. The performance (on the same hardware) is much better. Sorry this is anecdotal .. I can tell you that on a dual Xeon 2.2 ghz running RH linux 8.0, switching from Interbase to SAPDB more than doubled the responsiveness of the application..i.e., data retrieval time was cut in half. This may be due to the Python drivers. ;-) Problems: 1 SAPDB abort due to inappropriate SHMEM setup. That got answered pretty quick on this list. 2. ISO date format isn't the same as Interbase 3. multi joins are specified using oracle. I think the Interbase format is clearer I'd think the move is worth it. -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax http://www.wecanstopspam.org/ AOL-IM: BKClements _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
