I have read reviews of Oracle, Ingres and Informix. I would like to get any insight from people who work with these on a daily basis. I need to know how these perform with very large databases (20 million records). Anyone have any test results or experiences with databases this size? Also any advice on a hardware platform would be appreciated. BTW, I want to stay away from big blue! Please email directly as I do not usually read this group. Thanks, A. L.
