- Basically on Oracle vs Ingres, I think that Oracle SQL
- wins hands down.
- SQL is more fully featured
- outer joins
- CONNECT BY PRIOR (tree)
- UPDATE using SUBSELECT in SET clause
- Access to tables created by various users is easier
- Nobody has writen an IngresPerl yet !!

- Oracle experience since version 4
- Ingres experience since version 5
- Informix (a bit - forget which version)

- I would use Oracle as the Engine
- Use 3rd party access products (like Q&E) for users on PCs
