We are looking to implement an indexing and retrieval system for scanned
images, and we are considering using the db_VISTA product from RAIMA.

This is in the DOS environment, and will require Windows. There will be between
1 and 2 million records involved, and performance is a major requirement. A
response time of no more than 3 seconds is more like what could be tolerated.

This will be a networked environment (Novell, most likely), and the disk
interface will be SCSI.

Any information on this product (both +ve and -ve), or some alternative
products will be welcome.

Thanks in advance.
