Actually, from the client's perspective, I didn't see any difference in
accessing Oracle vs. Sybase or MS SQL. I installed all 3 on my NT at home
and create an identical set of tables (an address book, but don't laugh, it
was just for testing :). After incorporating an option-driven
(radio-buttons) selection of the database platform and choosing the
corresponding connection handle I found out that after the first hit there
was NO difference in speed either (did I mention that the code itself was
the same for all 3?)
Some things are better be left unknown...NOT!!!
