I'm making an emergency trip to try to save an account from SYBASE and need help fast. SYBASE ran a benchmark using C and SQL because (rumor) SYBASE and COBOL do not have the same good performance. Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor? Maggie

Well, Sybase does have its roots in the Unix environment (try calling
their support center and asking for cobol help..hahahaha). So a 'C'
orientation would seem logical....

We succeeded instopping SYBASE recently and the customer is now going for
ACMS, Rdb and DECforms. An external consultant was heavily pushing SYBASE,
the customer went to Rdb and SYBASE reference sites and the main
reasons why WE won the battle were:
- Rdb had some good references and it is a DIGITAL product
- SYBASE could not (would not) offer any support or consultancy during
the development of the business critical application
