>>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.

Thanks Bob and Nancy!

I just can't imagine that there is a silent player in the database world that giving it a proper marketing and exposure is a real threat on today's hot databases in the market. I even posted a remarks to the one doing the demo that he might be kidding, but when they've shown us the MEDTRAX hospital system that uses CACHE, we are truly amazed. MEDTRAX uses VB as the front-end and accessing over 1Million records takes split seconds to query some hundred records.
