RE: iSeries vs. Unix vs. SQL Server vs. Oracle

Aaaaaaarrrrrgggggggggg!

If I had a dime for every promise made by a typical salesman of this ilk
that was kept, i'd have a dime.

If I has a dime for every 'suit' that bought into this kind of pap, i'd be
rich.

The packages:
1) SQL Server-Based - This is NOT the best fit for the business in terms of
functionality.  It is the front runner, but only because it's gui is more
attractive.  And the fact that the salespeople have promised a couple of
things: 75% reduction in MIS expenses/staff, and a 100% match to our
business now & in the future.  This is all sales crap, but the GUI has a
few key people convinced.  This package does not even have it's own
Accounting...  It relies on MS's Solomon Acct, and our CFO has been quoted
as saying 'If it is made by Microsoft, it must be good'...
