Hello again!

Some months ago, I posted here looking for an RDBMS
under UN*X. Thanks to all who responded.

We are ***VERY*** close to choosing Sybase. Its performance
leaves the others we evaluated in the dust (specifics? OK:
Informix, Empress, Unify). Its SQL extensions are great, and
yes, Virginia, you can back up the db without booting the users
off of the system. Great.

What I'd like to know, but naturally can't get from Sybase itself,
is the negative side.

Does anyone out there have a gripe with Sybase? Anyone know of
something even whizzier for a VAX 11/780?

(408) 973-4963 is the number to call and leave a message on
if you can't mail to me.

Thank You!
