YMMV & it all depends on which version of which product etc etc,
but in my experience, Sybase with raw partitions on Solaris
was the least reliable & most problematic database I've used,
closely followed by Sybase on VMS with normal filesystem.
Give me Oracle or Progress any day on any box,
for better reliability & integrity & speed.
