I have a client who is seriously thinking about buying SYBASE to
run on a network of Sun's with the database files spread across
different nodes on the network.  These files will be in the gigabyte
range.

Would some of you database users please comment on your experiences:

  - Would you use SYBASE or would you go with another DBM?

  - Does it live up to the literature or is it partly vaporware?

  - Is it "solid" or still a bit "buggy"?

  - What sort of response do you get from the vendor?

  - General feeling about the product?


I note that site 'sybase' is on the net.  Perhaps someone there
would also care to comment.

My thanks to all who take the time to respond.

Cheers,
  Lindsay
