I need an article that compares the PC LAN-based database products vs Rdb (or any database products that runs on mimi+ computer.) A customer wants to know whether a Novell/Foxbase-based healthcare application with a 486 database engine will be adequate to support 40 to 60 users. They would like to see a study (preferrably written by 3rd party independent expert) that discusses the capacity limit of PC LAN-based database servers. I would appreciate if some gives me a pointer to any related info, asap. Dale

Dale,
My guess is that there would be significant problems with 40-60
concurrent users on a PC. I would think that the scare resources would
be memory and disk I/O. For the number of users, locking and security
would also be issues resulting from running this application on a PC.
Sounds like a job for Rdb and ACMS! Does this customer consider this
application mission critical or bet your business?
