	This is a request for information on database machines/hardware.

	1. Are there any commercial database machines or database engines
	   designed to handle very large databases in an oltp environment?

	2. What are the typical characteristics of an operating system that
	   runs on a database machine?

	3. What hardware features should one expect in a machine designed
	   exclusively for large, real-time database applications?

	Thanks in advance.
