This has probably been asked a million times here already, but I don't
have an archive of this group so I'll ask again. Responses can be sent
directly to me via email so as not to bore the entire group.

Can anyone compare, contrast, recommend a Relational Database packages?
We are looking for one that runs on Suns and has an excellent package
for making small ad-hoc applications for in-house use without much
programming effort.

We are going to use it for all the little things you always want to
keep track of in a company. Things like bug reports, rma's, changes,
sales leads, correspondense, and other little odds and ends.

We are currently looking into:
	Ingres
	Sybase
	Informix
	Oracle
	Unify

The ease of creating, modifying and maintaing applications as well as
creating ad-hoc reports, mailing labels, mail-merge and querys are
VERY important.

We would also be interested in commercial packages that are built on
one of these database products that can do these kind of tasks in an
integrated maner.
