Re: DB2/400 comparisons with other relational databases (specifically Oracle and SQL Server)

Mandy,
As a general rule from now on I would only recomend SQL2000 Enterprise for
any new
applications-It beats Oracle hands down,has all the bells and whistles
management tools/dev enviroment  that Oracle has not got yet.
Its aboubt as good as DB2/400 but is far cheaper and scales nicely at a
fraction of the cost.

cheers Dave
