In the very first line of my very first post of this subject was the following line: What's a "user"? The point being that the term "user" doesn't in itself define workload. My example was used to illustrate this fact. > All I asked was what > business application was running (oh, and also what a PDC was - sorry if I > don't know every acronym on the planet). It shows that you have very little experience with NT and/or PC databases. > And as far as I can tell, there is > no business application. Running a SQL server alone is not a business > application. Do you know anyone that runs SQL server just for the sake of saying that it's running??? It serves data to a few different applications which are used in the process of conducting our business. > How many requests per hour? How many records in the database? > Inquiry only or update? If it's just serving a name and address list to a > Word Mail Merge, then it isn't much of a business application. Fixed assets, payroll, call accounting, and a rental property management application. Combined DB size is about 4GB. I have no idea how many requests per hour, nor do I have a burning need to find out. The point is not to say the NT is a better database server than AS/400. The point is to say "4 users" is a meaningless term. John Taylor
