Why? > So far I have seen only UNIFY and ORACLE. I don'T count INGRES because the University here only gets the "toy" version. At any rate, for ease of use and non-programmability (for non-programmers) I vote for UNIFY at the present time. Also, the SQL language is fairly simple. What I liked best was being able to substanstially change the scheme and reconfigure the database with one command and not lose any data or have to reload the database.. - jerry ihnp4!uwmcsd1!jerry Computing Services Division - Univ.
