>We recently attended a demo of InterSystems CACHE, a post-relational object database. The product seems promising because it has the capability of both pure SQL (Oracle, SQL Server, Informix, Sybase databases) and Object database (Jasmine). The success stories of this product includes top 10 hospital in the U.S. and some banks. The demonstration clearly tells us that the product is more robust and powerful than Oracle or SQL server. Is there anyone here who could give us more information that affirms the promises of this product? We are trying to consider this to be one of our back-end database working side by side with SQL Server.

Jess,

I have started playing with Cache and it is definatly way cool. I like the idea that you model objects which are automatically persistent and you can access them as ActiveX object... or, you can use ODBC and the objects are exposed as rows and columns.

This is definatly something I will be looking at further.
