Cute, but probably in the near future unless MicroSlop and/or IBM beats them to
the punch.

Anyway, that is a loaded question to toss into this pile of prejudiced
individuals, and yes I'm speaking about myself here too.  Personally I'd stay
with Oracle just because of the condition (financially that is) of Sybase.  It
may not be too far into the future when they are acquired by someone else.

Isn't Sybase owned by Oracle? Oh, not yet?

Hi list, hope you guys can help us decide this issue.

We are a shop that 's currently running  2 MS SQL7 servers
                                                 2 MS 2k Servers
                                                 6 Sybase 12.1.1 ASE servers
                                                 and 5 Oracle 8.1.7.1
servers
The MS servers is used for time tracking and  a helpdesk database, Sybase is
used for our Online communities and a host of other things. Because of
Sybase's limitation and problems 3 years ago,  Oracle was supposed to be our
New Production System. The idea was to migrate all other system to Oracle
and have a shop running under just one platform. Well, this was over 3 years
ago and things have not progressed as expected(very long story),  We are
still running all three platforms. Sybase has come up with new releases that
have addressed some of the issues we had against it ,  now we don't know
which platform to keep(between Oracle and Sybase). In your opinion, which
one is more robust, better? we need replication and resource management.


TIA,

Miriam Bryan
