Sybase is a full fledged rdbms. In the past it catered to rapid transaction processing, particularly in the financial community. I /assume/ it has good SQL support, data protection as well as good scaling. It also has/had powerbuilder as its tool set. I can get more accurate Sybase info from the horse's mouth if no one else has that info. -elein On Thu, Aug 21, 2003 at 04:51:16PM -0400, Robert Treat wrote: > Taken from an article discussing recent additions to the osx platform > (http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php?id=877426788&fp=16&fpid=0) > > "OS X ships with two open source database managers, MySQL and > PostGresQL.
