Database software for UNIX systems

[840033@G.Pavlov]

 If the goal is to settle upon a common dbms that will be effective for a wide
 range of applications (my assumption, since it sounds like a number of sites
 are involved), then I personally do not believe that either Unify or Informix
 is the "answer".  Of current dbms's for Unix systems, I would choose Ingres or
 Oracle.

 - this is based on hands-on evaluations of 5 dbms's (including Unify, but not
   Informix), discussions with managers at apx. 30 sites using one or more of
   the dbms's mentioned above, and discussions on this net over the past 12
   months.

   by Ingres, I mean the "commercial version", distributed by Relational Technoo-
   logy, Inc.
