We are looking for a DBMS system to be installed on 3B2/700 computer.
The system should have good graphics (color) (pi charts, histogram etc.)
and other usual report-generation capabilities. Our 3B2/700 (system 5 release 3.1or 3.2) will be receiving data form lots (about 20) of UNIX pcs and 
storing them in DBMS.
We have very demanding schedule to meet.
There is an opinion that INFORMIX is slower than ORACLE when it comes
to handling aggregate queries. Is it true?
We would also like our DBMS env to become distributed in future.
Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
