>It makes sense that pb and sybase play well together. As for a unix server, I'm not so sure that's true anymore with SQL 7.0. It would also depend on the use of the database. Is it mostly for adds/updates? Then unix may be better, but if you are creating a data warehouse, SQL 7.0 will probably handle that just as well as a unix-based solution.

SQL 7.0 is the most cost-effective means of implementing a data warehouse, no doubt. But it doesn't have a track record yet and there are other products relying on Oracle that do. I guess when it comes to DB architectures, I tend to err on the side of conservatism :-)
