- Gino, For a database of 100,000 records, you should be using Oracle instead
- of dBase files. Purchase Oracle, SQL*Net and ClipDbBridge 301-330-9621
- (There is another Clip-Ora package out of England - Call Nantucket)
- On a network, you can use Oracle/os2 or Oracle/Unix depending on how much
- power you need. On a network, you can then split the workload between the
- client doing user interface and calculations and the server doing record
- retrieval.
