What are the real world limits of each of these databases as far a number of concurent users and database size before the thing dies. Question 2: Has anyone used any of these databases to connect up to larger databases in Unix land ie (SYBASE, INGRES etc). To either upload or access data. If there is enough interest I'll be glad to post a summary of the reponses. Thanx for your help and or advice.
