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
