"...but still, aren't there any mv-type systems that can bring this "guarantee" to the table?"
ABSOLUTELY! That is why I said up front, that the comment was not about Oracle/PICK/U2. It was a general comment. It has more to do with what is out in the field and generally being used. For instance, if there is an Oracle application out there that has been tested and certified for some type of particular use, that doesn't mean that a U2/PICK can't be as good or better. It just means that the Oracle application has already been through the process and may have that as the advantage. I'm sure that someone on this discussion list can chime in on the popular package for colleges/universities (Benefactor?). I'm sure it was considered a 'safe' choice during the buying process because so many others in the industry were using it. It didn't mean that another application/database wasn't as good, it just meant that this was field tested, readily accepted, and didn't need as much scrutiny. It just makes it a harder sell.
