Joe, I shouldn't even dignify this crap with a reply, but anyway ...
"1. Populate UV and Oracle with around 10 Million records. 2. Write fairly complex Web Application against it. 3. Run a Web Application Stress tool(around 1000 Users) switching Databases within the same DB Machine." We've written complex web applications against UniVerse with several hundred permanently active users for local government systems (not just simple e-commerce or dynamic web). And they perform excellently, thank you. "UV is used as a FLAT FILE... with a bunch of Stuff..packed on it.. and then use PICK to read through these UV Files." Then you're not using it correctly are you? Which puts you in no position to comment. Don't blame the technology for your incompetence in not making the correct use of it. MVDB is designed for embedded processing. Record level writes that don't have the overhead of a SQL layer. Complex processing managed locally to the database, without having to add external business rule layers. Not as a dumb machine to return or update record sets. In other words, comparing UV and an RDBMS are comparing chalk and cheese. They do different jobs. Try to use UV in the same way as Oracle and don't be surprised if it won't perform. Try to use Oracle in the same way as UV and the same thing happens. It doesn't work. Strangely if I tried to drive a formula 1 car around here it won't perform either. It would just break under the conditions. You need a 4x4. Of course they do the same thing - both go from A to B loudly and guzzle fuel. But I know which one will get me home. Without an array of engineers to retune it every day. "but I don't belive Corporations use UV as RDBMS..." If they are they should be shot. UV is NOT an RDBMS. It's an MVDBMS. If you can't understand that, no wonder you're floundering. A hell of a lot of local and central governments, defence forces, fortune 500 companies use UV as an MVDBMS though - as does a lot of the SMI sector, that can't afford Oracle. "I belive developers should appreciate technology for 1. Performance 2. Scalability 3. Ease Of Integration. 4. Advanced Techniques. 5. Resources for Development... RAD etc." I do. That's why I've developed with Borland products for 10 years and with Microsoft products for 15 years. And MV databases for even longer. Working with primitive data stores like SQL Server and Oracle just loses my will to live.
