I have a little experience with Sybase but a large mouth so ... :-). I attended
a beta training class and have looked over the manuals and spent a short
amount of time hacking at the software. My biased opinion is that they've
got a product with great potential but which is currently a little "young"
(lacking in features - maybe this is an advantage :-) 

Speed looks very good. One DBA type who looked at Sybase is excited about
the potential to put the edit rules and integrity checking in the database
and not in the application programs. Such things as triggers in the database
can really help keep garbage out.

Sybase is definately a company to watch.
