Is anyone actually using one of Britton Lee's SQL Servers?

They call it SHARE BASE, and it is handled in Canada by Compushare Database
Systems Inc, (President David J Killins). It was designed, in part, by Dr Bob
Taylor, who is now the Executive Vice President of R&D for Britton Lee.

I want to hear both good news and bad news. Everything I have seen about this
suggests that it may be a dream come true, but I am looking for some live
users, not salespeople (at least, not only sales people).

I understand this is the Superman of serving systems, and they consider
themselves in competition with the more well known servers, such as Oracle.

ByTheWay, I wouldn't mind hearing bad and good about the other brands as well.
If any of you know how much it actually cost you to set it up, including cost
of required hardware, and costs of mandatory service for the 1st year, that
would me nice as well.

If I get enough response to put together a summary, I will do so, and post is
as a finished researched work.

Thanks for everythng, -dave
